An extremely rare West Australian Colt Navy 1851 Flap Holster marked WD Broad Arrow. This holster is one of 24 ordered by the WA government in 1859 and purchased in an Antique store in North Fremantle 35 years ago ex a Government Store sale. It has a striking resemblance to the London purchase by the Canadian Militia which also has the stud located on the flap as opposed to the body of the case. All stitching is sound and intact, and the plug is present. The black lacquer is mottled as brown wrapping paper was stuck to it. This is a one-off opportunity to procure an iconic Colt accoutrement mentioned on the original invoice to the WA Government.
Apart from lacquer in superb condition $2750
