This lot features a classic western buscadero-style gun rig produced by Alfonso's Holster & Gunshop of Hollywood, California. Alfonso Pineda was one of the premier leather makers serving the motion picture industry during the mid-20th century, supplying holsters and gun rigs for film productions and western performers. His shop became widely known among collectors of Hollywood western memorabilia and traditional cowboy leather for producing durable working rigs that also carried the bold styling favored by screen cowboys.
The rig consists of a wide leather cartridge belt and a right-handed buscadero holster designed to accommodate a Colt Single Action Army revolver with a 5.5-inch barrel. The holster features a traditional drop configuration that positions the revolver lower on the thigh for quick access. The belt incorporates 25 cartridge loops sized for .45 Colt ammunition, and the holster body is secured with a retention strap and buckle across the front. The belt is fitted with a chromed brass buckle and is marked as a size 36. Measurement from where the buckle meets the leather to the first hole is approximately 32 inches, while the distance to the outermost hole measures approximately 37 inches.
The leather shows the classic western style associated with Hollywood gun rigs, with clean stitching and a robust construction designed for regular use. The belt and holster are stamped "Alfonso's Holster & Gunshop, N.H. Calif." on the interior leather, and the belt end bears the stamped number "666 860 45". The combination of period Hollywood provenance, traditional buscadero styling, and compatibility with the iconic Colt Single Action Army makes this a distinctive example of mid-century western leather gear.
