Moran Bros. Holster on Money Belt
Miles City, Montana Territory marked. Smooth brown leather with maker mark on holster & belt. In overall good condition showing age. Hugh and Thomas Moran are believed to have started the first and one of the most historic saddleries in Miles City, Montana in the late 1870s, operating a two-man shop with limited but high quality leather work. They sold the shop in 1895 to Charles E Coggshall who went into a brief partnership with Al Furstnow before eventually becoming the longstanding and popular Miles City Saddlery. The Moran Bros, Miles City, MT marking is one of the most coveted of the celebrated 19th century makers. To this day the Moran Brothers Saddles and other items are prized by collectors and museums alike around the world.
