RARE PAIR OF SADDLE HOLSTERS FOR COLT WALKER OR DRAGOON REVOLVER AND MODEL 1855 PISTOL CARBINE

RARE PAIR OF SADDLE HOLSTERS FOR COLT WALKER OR DRAGOON REVOLVER AND MODEL 1855 PISTOL CARBINE. This is a very unusual set made for Walker or Dragoon on one side and 1855 Pistol carbine and associated stock (in separate pocket) on other. This very well made pair of saddle holsters is known as experimental but an identical pair are shown in Edward Scott Meadow’s 1987 text “U.S. MILITARY HOLSTERS and PISTOL CARTRIDGE BOXES” on page 38. The pair shown in Meadow’s book are missing straps where our pair is complete. Constructed of black bridle leather with sewn and riveted connecting strap with flap closures for cover that is held by rawhide (and could be removed). CONDITION: Overall sound, but soiled, dry and crazed and flaking. About half the sewn edging on outside flaps is chipped and missing. One tab is torn and restored with new piece of leather. Sewing is mostly intact with some stitching loose especially at plug in holster end for carbine. 4-45075-1 JS30 (2,000-3,000)
