The Hermann H. Heiser Saddlery Co. of Denver, Colorado was established in 1874 during the height of the Old West, and for the next 80 years, they were world renowned for producing top of the line leather saddles, pistol holsters, and gun belts. This Vintage 1940s H.H. Heiser #710 Colt 7.5" SAA Tooled Leather Pistol Holster & Matching Gun Belt Rig is in Very Good Condition, with the “triple H” embossed brass rivet at the bottom front end tip of the holster having slightly raised itself from the leather, though it still remains “tight as a drum”, some light scattered scratching, darkening, and verdigris throughout, and with some light overall drying, stiffening, and age wear evident. Most interestingly, the holster is crafted in the classic “Mexican double loop” design, with a folded over skirt that also acts as the belt slide, bears incredible hand carved floral tooling all along the front, and is stamped at the bottom front skirt (under the toe) with the classic oval "saddler" style logo of its maker, the famous "H.H. HEISER / MAKER / DENVER, COLO.", along with the model number, "710*". The holster is constructed of tough, rigid, yet fairly supple brown saddle leather, measures 4“ wide across the top opening, and 11 1/2“ long down the straight side, making it ideal for a Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army revolver with a 7.5” barrel, and features a purpose made open toe. The belt too is constructed of tough, rigid, yet fairly supple brown saddle leather, bears incredible hand carved floral tooling throughout, and is stamped at the left front with the matching oval "saddler" style logo of its maker, the famous "H.H. HEISER / MAKER / DENVER, COLO.", along with the numbers “138” and “38”. The belt sports 30 sewn leather shell loops for .44 WCF/.45 LC ammo along the left side and back, measures 49 1/2" long overall x 2 1/2" wide, and carries a fully functional metal front buckle closure. The set is a beautiful example of a rare, original Vintage 1940s H.H. Heiser #710 Colt 7.5" SAA Tooled Leather Pistol Holster & Matching Gun Belt Rig.
