A fully lined single loop holster with riveted side, tapered body with full back skirt. The front is fully basket tooled. Made for a 5 1/2" Colt Single Action. Original attachment to the toe. The 4 copper rivets have a 5-point star marking. Clearly marked in large oval cartouche "KINGSVILLE / LUMBER CO. / KINGSVILLE / TEXAS" Great light russet color. The accompanying belt is an excellent, period 3" wide cartridge / money belt with .38 caliber loops. Same model holster is shown on page 145 of “Packing Iron - Gunleather of the Frontier West” by Richard Rattenbury; the difference being the lack of the King Ranch "Running W" brand on the cartouche.
