The holster has been decorated, during the period of use, with twenty brass tacks including large tacks at the center of each of the maker marks. The holster and belt are both marked "45" and the holster fits a 4 3/4" Colt Single Action Army. The holster shows full coverage hand tooling on its exterior surface and shows wear and some loose stitching at the throat and some additional loose stitching on the back. There is an area of considerable wear at the bottom backside of the holster where it would make contact with the wearer's hip and the hammer thong has been lost to the years. The money belt is 40 1/2" overall with cartridge loops the entire length. The portion of the billet stitched to the belt is also marked "45" and has the same "HENRY NORDHAUS / MAKER / DEMING, NM" maker marking that appears twice on the holster. The belt is 3" wide and has a 1 1/2" money slot beneath the buckle. The stitching remains intact on the belt which remains in about excellent condition with supple leather. While the belt seems to be in a bit better condition than the holster, they appear to have been together for quite some time. A nice Nordhaus rig with lots of character.
