Lot 1028:
Description
This lot consists of a Western-style Buscadero drop-loop leather belt and holster set configured for a .44 caliber revolver. The set is constructed from medium-brown leather and features matched stamped floral and mandala-inspired motifs on both the belt and the holster retention strap. The belt is noted as a size 42 and features exactly 24 integrated cartridge loops tailored for .44 caliber ammunition. The holster is designed for a right-hand draw and includes a leather leg tie-down thong for secure carry. Internal markings on the belt include the handwritten numeral 85 along with other illegible characters. The set is characterized by its heavy-duty construction and traditional floral stamping. The leather shows signs of moderate use including surface scuffs and darkening while the metal rivets show visible green verdigris.
Dimensions: 42”
Condition report:
The leather remains supple but shows visible surface scuffing, creasing, and darkening consistent with age and field use. The brass or copper-alloy rivets exhibit significant green verdigris oxidation. The stitching remains generally tight and the cartridge loops are secure. The interior of the belt shows moderate staining from handling.
