This item is a classic Western gun rig consisting of a right handed single loop holster and matching cartridge belt produced for Stembridge Gun Rentals. The belt features a large brass North & Judd “Anchor Brand” buckle and a full row of 56 cartridge loops sized for .38 Special or .357 Magnum ammunition. The belt measures approximately 34 inches to the inner adjustment hole and approximately 40 inches to the outer hole, allowing a range of fit typical of working Western holsters used in film productions. The holster appears sized to accommodate a Colt Single Action Army revolver with a 4 5/8 inch barrel.
The leather is richly decorated with traditional Western floral tooling throughout the belt and holster body. The belt ends feature carved floral panels framed by border stamping, while the holster body displays deep floral carving with raised petal elements and finely cut leaf scrollwork. The holster skirt is bordered with decorative stamping and finished with braided leather lacing along the edge, adding both visual depth and structural reinforcement. Cartridge loops are evenly spaced along the belt and stitched securely to the backing leather.
The holster is stamped “STEMBRIDGE GUN RENTALS” and marked with the date “01/21/36,” indicating its use within the well known Stembridge rental inventory that supplied firearms and equipment to Hollywood film and television productions for decades. Stembridge Gun Rentals of Hollywood, California was famous for providing authentic Western arms and gear to countless classic films and television series, making surviving equipment from their inventory highly collectible pieces of movie and Western memorabilia.
