Mexican Loop Holster – Ballstrardt Style – 1870 era [SL-3234]
$92.00
These were typically made starting around 1870.

I found an image of this unusual Mexican Loop holster on the net somewhere. So, I thought I’d make one to see how it actually looked first hand. Then, I found a pattern on the Tandy Leather Compay website that looked very similar. This style has has a sewn and riveted loop instead of the traditional cut loop. Some call this style the “Dodge City” holster.

Fits:
1851 Colt Navy
1861 Colt Navy
1860 Colt Army
1858 Remington New Army
Ruger Vaquero
1873 Colt Single Action Army
Smith and Wesson American
1875 Remington
And everything that looks like the above.

Possibles Bag – Free Spitit Bag [SL-3110]
$104.00
“Possibles” bags first gained their name and popularity amongst the mountain men, pioneers, and frontiersman of the American Old West. A possibles bag was a bag or container in which one carried all items — other than shooting supplies — that were necessary for survival and/or needed to be close at hand. Possibles bags remain in use today by naturalists, hikers, hunters, and others (though are sometimes known by a different name).

In the 18th and 19th centuries, mountain men, minutemen, frontiersmen, and black powder hunters of all kinds would usually be found with two bags slung across their shoulders: their powder horn and their “possibles bag.” It was so-named either because it contained everything you might possibly need for the day, or because you could possibly find most anything packed in the bag. As with the ditty bag, the contents of a man’s possibles bag varied by taste and necessity.

Measures: 8-1/2 inches wide by 6 inches tall with a 2 inch gusset
Red-brown rustic textured leather – only have a few more feet of this leather
Handlaced
Adjustable strap: 1-3/4 inch by 52 inch
Custom Made Porcelain Button

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruger Old Army

The Ruger Old Army is a black-powder percussion revolver introduced in 1972 by the Sturm, Ruger company and manufactured through 2008. Models were available with either a 5.5 in (140 mm) or 7.5 in (190 mm) barrel.

The Ruger Old Army revolver is unusual in that, unlike most percussion revolvers on the market, it was not based on a historical design, but was a modification of Ruger’s Blackhawk model, which was itself based upon the cartridge-firing Colt Peacemaker

This design was built around the Blackhawk, but it takes its styling cues from the Spiller and Burr cap and ball pistol. This is due to the frame being longer in front to accommodate the loading lever and pivot pin.

Unlike the Blackhawk, the Old Army did not make use of Ruger’s transfer bar safety; instead the revolver relied upon a series of safety notches between each chamber on the cylinder like some models of the Remington/Colt or other black powder revolvers of the mid-19th century had.
