Bohlin Style Movie Rig with Colt Bisley Single Action Revolver, #244126, .45 Colt cal., originally with 5-1/2'' barrel cut down to 5'', nickel finish, stag grips. Mfg'd 1903. In buscadero rig with lined matching holster. Both holster and belt are nicely adorned with floral motifs, lozenge-shaped nickel silver tackwork, and Bohlin style buckles and keepers with gilding to brass and simulated inset rubies. Belt loops contain 5-in-1 movie blanks . This rig and revolver are reminescent of those seen in immediate pre- and post-war western movies and serials. Purchased by our consignor in the late 1970s from the now defunct Monogram Pictures Corp. of Hollywood. Revolver remains in typical movie arsenal condition with barrel shortened 1/2'' inch, thinning and shortening to front sight, moderate quality re-nickel finish, with later added thick stag grips. Action locks up tight, bore is good. Green and black dyed rig shows light general wear and some losses to rhinestone!
s; inside lining of belt with some stitching loss near holster cutout. Very attractive and worthy of a western movie display. Est.: $2,500-$3,500/rig.
