Wonderful early and never seen gamblers set to include; a double shoulder holster set made of leather and elastic to hold two single shot boot pistols, a dagger and a loading rod. Both pistols are single shot under hammer percussion single shots, similar but not a matching pair, one being a .36 caliber while the other is a .28 caliber but both were made by same maker with matching barrel lengths, decoration , etc which indicates they were made as a set. There is a Joseph Allen Sheffield 7” pearl handle push dagger with metal sheath (blade marked England so post 1890) and a wooden loading rod all in the appropriate mounts (rig is missing one loading rod for which there is a pouch) Lastly, there is an old collarless cotton print long sleeve dress shirt of the era. An impressive early gamblers outfit and never seen in the hobby. Pictured in the Flayderman Gun Book.
Condition: (Very Good).
