A FINE Vintage Catalog Holster for a Colt 5 1/2 or 7 1/2 in. barrel and many others.

This holster was offered by Montgomery Ward & Co. It was know to be manufactured by WYETH HARDWARE  of St. Joseph, Mo. This full flap holster was shop made and beautifully and elaborately hand stamped. The main seam is hand laced and all lace is tight with no brakes. The workmanship is excellent, and equal to that of many of the best saddle shops. This holster will fit a large assortment of long barreled revolvers. I am showing it here with a Colt SAA 7 1/2 inch barrel and it is a perfect fit. It would be ideal for many Smith & Wesson's with 7 1/2 inch barrels or less. It is stamped on the belt loop with the number "308XL indicating it is for a large frame revolver, below that is a 6, indicating 6 inch barrel, but as you can see it works for a 7 1/2 inch Colt just as well. Another style by Wyeth can be seen in "Packing Iron"on page 135 and also inside the front cover. The pouch has a large stamp of a horse and rider. The leather is in very good condition, soft, flexible, and clean. All lacing is tight and secure. The leather is alive and would give years of displaying with your antique pistola.  My guns are not included.
