US Army troopers out on the Plains in the Indian Wars faced many dangers during their arduous campaigns. Those intrepid “dogfaced soldiers in dirty shirt blue” manned isolated forts along the trails out West, protected settlers, miners, and railroad crews from "hostiles", and brought renegade bands back onto the reservation. Early in the Indian Wars, before the Colt M-1873 Single Action Army had been widely introduced, many infantrymen and cavalrymen still carried old Civil War “cap and ball” .36 caliber “Navy” revolvers by Colt and Remington, worn in various holsters mounted on regulation waist belts with old Civil War cap pouches. These rigs were worn in the days when much combat still lay ahead between American soldiers and Plains Indians. The power of the Comanche had yet to be broken at Adobe Walls and Palo Duro Canyon, and General Custer and his 7th Cavalry had yet to be defeated at the Little Bighorn. This US Army Indian Wars ”Navy” Revolver Tooled Pistol Holster is in Fair Condition, with a 1” seam tear in the top right body seam, moderate glue repairing along the lower right body seam, a complete split to the bottom end tip, some scattered rough tearing around that exposed bottom end tip, heavy drying, scuffing, flaking, surface cracking, and fragility throughout, and with moderate overall age wear evident. Otherwise, the holster is in fair shape, with no other damage to the well worn black leather construction. Most interestingly, it features elegant “sunburst” border tooling along the lower edges of the top flap, which denotes a commercial rather than military revolver holster, sports a fully functional “tongue and loop” closure on that top flap, and measures 4 1/2" wide across the top opening, and 10 1/2" long down the straight side, making it ideal for a Colt M-1851 Navy or Remington 1858 Navy percussion revolver with a 7 1/2" barrel. The accompanying US Civil War Cap Pouch is in Good Condition, with the maker’s mark at front having faded away, though the “U.S.” portion remains just barely legible, some overall drying, flaking, and crazing, missing the white lamb’s wool lining, and with some overall age wear evident. Otherwise, the pouch is in fine shape, with no other damage to the tough black leather construction. Most interestingly, it bears a fully functional leather strap and brass “stud” closure top flap, carries fully intact leather belt loops riveted at back, and the set is complete with an original US Army Indian Wars M-1874 Waist Belt in Fair Condition, with moderate overall drying, flaking, crazing, and age wear evident. Otherwise, the belt is in fine shape, with no other damage to the tough black leather construction. Most interestingly, it exhibits a fully functional “US” embossed M-1874 “Hagner” pattern brass front buckle, and the set is a fine example of a very rare, original US Army Indian Wars ”Navy” Revolver Tooled Pistol Holster, Civil War Cap Pouch, & M-1874 Belt Rig.
