*BEAUTIFUL COENEN SILVER MOUNTED DBL HOLSTER RIG WITH REVOLVERS. Cal. 455 Eley. SN 63916 & 121879. Great Bohlin style holster rig made of beautifully tooled lined heavy black leather with dbl holster buscadero set up for large frame dbl action revolvers. Coenen worked for Hollywood Silversmiths, McCabe & later on Sunset Trails. The leather certainly appears to be Bohlin. The belt is about 38” long x 3-1/2” wide at the narrow ends with a sterling silver buckle set marked on the back with Coenen’s mark. The buckle & tab are beautifully hand engraved. The belt has 27 leaf shaped studs with a turkey foot on them and 13 round engraved buttons along with 33 small silver buttons. The holsters are matching carved, single loop with wide skirts and have solid silver engraved plate over each loop with gold initials “DDC”. The skirts are bordered with 20 matching engraved silver buttons and the belt has 30 cartridge loops. The revolvers are standard New Service Model Colts with 5-1/2” bbls, fixed sights and a lanyard loop in the butt. Both have faux stag grips and have Canadian property marks on the frame & bbl. They were probably NWMP issue revolvers. Both are nickel plated with gold plated cylinder, trigger & hammer. CONDITION: Leather is dry but supple with some crackling on the tongue. Holsters show moderate wear and are scraped on the inside, otherwise the entire rig is fine. Revolvers retain about 90% of their custom finish. Mechanics are slightly loose, with dark pitted bores, probably from firing blank ammunition. 4-51314 JR923 (3,500-5,000)
