A. Stelzig Saddle Company

Here's a nice vintage holster simply acquired because of the interesting geometric tooling. I have no idea of the holster's age. The maker's mark was used from 1926 to sometime in the 1980s. An interesting history of this Texas concern can be found in this link: [url=http://www.vintagegunleather.com/company-marks/stelgiz_history.html]A.

I'd thought it was a bit too long for 4-inch Smith & Wesson K-Fames (my favorite K-Frame barrel length by the way) so poked the only 5-inch K-Frame into it to find the perfect fit. Gun is likely much older than the holster is, the revolver's serial number being 50200-and-something which should date it to 1904.

I have no idea how old this holster is and there's nothing on the internet outside of the above link to provide a clue on the holster's age, but it's a great holster with leather of outstanding quality.
