Very Fine Leather Holster and Money Belt Rig by C.E. Coggshall of Miles City Montana
This Mexican loop style holster fits a 4 3/4" Colt Single Action revolver and remains in very nice condition. The holster shows simple tooled border with bold and clear maker marking "C.E. COGGSHALL / (five pointed star) / MILES CITY. MONT.", the same marking appears on the billet. The belt measures 3" wide with a 1 1/2" money slot beneath the buckle, the opposite end of the belt had its stitching neatly removed during the period of use giving access to that end as well. The leather belt remains quite supple measuring 45" overall to end of billet with cartridge loops its entire length. The holster is in very good condition with a nice surface and with a small tear in the edge of the leather where the triggerguard enters and there is also wear where the hammer makes contact. There is no retaining strap and it doesn't appear that there ever was one. These late 19th century Montana made gun rigs are extremely rare and highly sought after. A great opportunity for the American Frontier collector to add a wonderful money belt rig to their collection. (1C11523-138) [Jim Thrash Collection] (7000/9000)
