Galco International, formerly known as The Famous Jackass Leather Company, was founded by Richard N. Gallagher in 1969 as a small family business in Chicago, Illinois. In 1980, the name of the company was changed to Galco International, and in 1983, they moved from Chicago to their present home in Phoenix, Arizona, where all Galco products are still designed and hand crafted. This Galco “Exotic” Alligator Leather Colt 3” Officer Pistol Holster is in Excellent Condition, with only some scratching and darkening along the interior lining. Otherwise, the holster is in excellent shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it’s crafted of gorgeous cognac alligator leather, features a small of the back (SOB) outside the waistband (OWB) design for a right handed shooter, and was designed to carry a Colt 1911 Officer or Kimber Ultra CDP with a 3” barrel. It’s stamped “MAKER / GALCO / PHOENIX, AZ” at the middle back, above “GENUINE / ALLIGATOR”, and the model number, “CON266AC”, boasts a sewn brown leather lining, and is complete with the matching Galco “Exotic” Cognac Alligator Leather Concealable Mag Pouch in Mint Condition, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or damage of any kind. Most interestingly, the mag pouch boasts a sewn brown leather lining, and a folded over and stitched alligator leather belt loop at back, which exhibits the same “MAKER / GALCO / PHOENIX, AZ” maker’s mark. The set is complete with a matching Galco “Exotic” Cognac Alligator Leather 1 1/4” Wide Waist Belt in Excellent Condition, with some scratching and patina to the keeper loops, and with some light scratching and patina to the front buckle. Otherwise, the belt is in excellent shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or other damage. Most interestingly, it sports a beautiful sterling silver front buckle and end tip, with the former stamped “GALCO / PHOENIX ARIZON” and “STERLING” at the underside, and the latter marked “Galco / INTERNATIONAL / STERLING” at the underside, and is stamped along the interior brown leather lining with the model number, “CON-36AC”, its size, “36”, the same “MAKER / GALCO / PHOENIX, AZ” maker’s stamp, and the same “GENUINE / ALLIGATOR” mark. Galco no longer offers these belts with sterling silver buckle options. Lastly, this set is housed in a “MAKER / GALCO / PHOENIX, AZ” maroon moleskin drawstring bag, and comes directly from the personal collection of award-winning gunwriter and book author Rick Hacker, and a signed letter of authenticity from Mr. Hacker will accompany this rig. A fine example of a very rare, original Galco “Exotic” Alligator Leather Colt 3” Officer Pistol Holster, Mag Pouch & Sterling Belt Set.
