Holster, very rare, circa 1874-75, marked “J. K. Ramsey, With F. W. Sibert, San Antonio, Texas”. This rare holster for 7 ½” Colt Single Action features a lined pouch & typical early Texas 3/4 skirt, simple border stamping. Ramsey formed a partnership with Ford about 1876 and their shop was located on military plaza next door to L. Frank Saddlery, both became San Antonio institutions. By 1879-80 Sibert is listed as a harness maker in Houston, Texas so this holster can be dated to a short time window of about 1870-1876. POR
