I have several gunbelts that have been passed down to me over the years. Most of them are over 100 years old. I also have an old (?) holster for a 7 1/2 inch SAA. Has anyone here heard of "Buffalo Brand" holsters? The one I have is marked "Buffalo Brand" in the middle of a circle with "Denver" on top and "Colorado" on the bottom.
The holster appears very old due to the color, stiffness and construction. The belt loop is in an old style font marked "7 1/2". The holster itself appears new and was never worn that I can tell. It also has a very basic line type bordering with a small flower at each corner (3 flowers).
Thanks for any help that you can give me!

One of the many suppliers to the hardware store/drygoods/mail order trade from the post-WWI-pre-WWII era.

Thanks for the information and the welcomes! Well it's not as old as I had hoped, but it's a keeper I quess. Well I'm off to the small local gun show to see if I can find anything. Y'all have a good day!

Though it was made later than perhaps you'd like - it's still an excellent example of what was really worn during the era.
