The expiration of Smith & Wesson’s patent on the bored-through cylinder in 1869 led Colt to design the revolutionary M-1873 Single Action Army, which soon earned the moniker the “Peacemaker”, “Equalizer”, and “gun that won the West”. Carried by soldiers, lawmen, ranchers, rustlers, cowboys, and outlaws alike, the Colt SAA quickly became synonymous with the untamed wilds of the American West. This Vintage 1950s H.H. Heiser #754 Colt 5.5" SAA Revolver Tooled Leather "Buscadero" Holster is in Excellent Condition, with a small nick in the front left throat, some light verdigris to the nickeled hardware, and with some light scattered scratching, darkening, and age wear evident. Most interestingly, it’s crafted in the classic “Buscadero” variant of the “Mexican double loop” design, with a high curved throat, stitched and buckled loops, and 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 “triple H” centered maker’s logo of the famous "HEISER DENVER", along with the model number, "754". It’s constructed of tough, rigid, yet fairly supple brown saddle leather, features brown rawhide leather lacing extending from the back end tip through the bottom skirt, and measures 3“ wide across the top opening, and 8.5“ long down the straight side, making it ideal for a Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army revolver with a 5.5” barrel. A beautiful example of a rare, original Vintage 1950s H.H. Heiser #754 Colt 5.5" SAA Revolver Tooled Leather "Buscadero" Holster.
