IMHO cheap "Spanish Type" copy of colt single action. I think both gun and Holster are purposely altered "AGED" to look very old but are both made to deceive. That is NOT a colt and NOT a holster from late 1800's or early 1900's [V][:(]. Forum rules prohibit me from making an offer to buy but if you put it up for auction starting at a penny I promise I will bid however if you start at $.02 someone else with have to be the first bidder.
EDIT the reason I said the holster was not that old was NOT because of the snap. But Rather because of Drop down GUN SLINGER design that was made popular by the TV COWBOY and Movies. They are not the design used by people that carried a pistol on the job.0 -
Well could be, I suppose. The holster IMHO is old. I'm not an expert on much, but I do know old when I see it. I see it every morning when I shave.
As to the pistol, it might very well be spanish. Heck it could be french for all I know.
Damn French0 -
Six-shooter is a Belguim made Western TYPE revolver. DO NOT shoot modern ammo in it (MADE FOR BLACK POWDER SHELLS ONLY)The holster is modern, didn't have snaps in early times. 0 -
Snaps! Yeppers that's the give away.
Thank You0 -
Are you sure there are no markings? If it's .38 caliber, it looks exactly like the "Texas Ranger" SAA copy that I think was sold by Sears ca 1890s-early 1900s:

But if no proof marks, it's probably a Spanish export to Mexico.0 -
YES, thru the rust it does have those markings, or at least some of them.
Too cool, thanks so much. I now know what it is and I have some 38's
and I'm a headen for the range.
Just joking about going to the range!0 -
BTW... brass snaps were used in clothing items for women starting about 1805. I'm sure there are holsters and belts that use them over 150 years old. Bob 0 -
I would tend to agree with babun.
