Description:
This is an exceptionally nice Indian Wars era Cavalry Rig with the scarce Model 1874 Hazen Cartridge Loops for .45-70 carbine cartridges. This rig is a typical Cavalry Trooper's belt rig worn during the Western Indian Wars. The belt is a Model 1874 Cavalry belt in fine condition. The belt has the 1872 "US" belt plate, showing a nice mellow patina. The Hazen Cartridge Loops are in excellent condition, showing the "Watervliet Arsenal" stamp on the back and "A.R. Smith" inspection stamp. The flap holster is a very early Model 1881 with the small belt loop on the back, suitable for a Colt SAA or Schofield revolver. It has the embossed "US" on the front, an illegible inspectors mark at the bottom of the flap and a makers stamp half way up the flap with only the bottom "Arsenal" marking vaguely visible. The holster is in excellent condition with the original toe plug in place.

The Model 1872 Pistol Cartridge Pouch is also in excellent condition with the makers mark under the cover that all I can make out is "Quincy Ill". It still retains the sheep wool interior. All the parts of this rig retain all of their original stitching – all complete and good. All the leather parts show their original gloss finish with only the holster flap gone dull. There is no damage to any of the leather. This is a great rig to go with a fine condition Cavalry revolver.
