This Rig is an exact copy of a Western Holster Design for the 1911 Colt that first appeared in 1915. Made from Vegetable tanned Leathers and hand crafted and hand blocked for the perfect fit. The holster is Pigskin Lined to Protect the Finish of your Pistol. This Rig was named after the character William Holden played in the movie "The Wild Bunch". This holster is manufactured by San Pedro Saddlery of Arizona. The strap can go between the firing pin ( Cocked & Locked ) or it can be worn around the backstrap of the grip safety with the hammer lowered on an empty chamber.
The Belt is an original "Mill's" military issue, dated 1918, from the July 16, 1907 patent. I thought the belt and holster would match up.

This is the Pike, using a reproduction Civil War Era belt from El Paso Saddlery. The leather is a perfect match but the photo does not capture much. I replaced the brass buckle with one which rattles less and provides a positive lock.
