Among the most desirable 19th Century makers of California holsters was Main & Winchester who were in business during the Gold Rush through turn of the Century and most of their holsters of this style were for percussion or cartridge conversion pistols. This beautiful holster was made for and fits perfectly a 7-1/2" Colt Single Action and makers cartouche is crisp reading "MAIN & WINCHESTER / MAKERS / SAN FRANCISCO". This holster would be the perfect companion for an extremely fine early Single Action with California history. SIZE: CONDITION: Very good to fine overall, sewing tight and complete. Minor crazing and wear at trigger guard protector. Belt loop quite sound as is makers cartouche. There is an old ink inscription on belt loop with some undecipherable initials and an apparent price of $1.50. There is a pair of initials "WH" also stamped on verso, potentially of owner of this holster. 50412-89 JS (3,000-5,000)
