Both made of stout russet leather, oiled and waxed in service, so a warm light brown in tone. The 4 1/2 inch-long, tapering carbine boot has an attachment strap with buckle sewn around its mouth and a fixed loop sewn 2/3ds distance to base on one side. It is strung through a one-inch-wide belt with brass roller buckle, as found. The saddle holster (14 3/16 in. L) has a one piece body formed on a last, joined behind and butted together and finished with round-closed stitching. A leather cap sewn to the bottom and the mouth edged with a reinforcement strip of leather sewn over a cord. A classic example of an early 19th century British cavalry holster. CONDITION: very good, but one of the loops on the holster has separated and needs to be reattached.
