Here is a super pair of pommel holsters for M1842 single shot pistols. The leather is supple throughout and shows the typical crazing and wear expected on a piece of leather of this age. The flaps are present on both holsters with only one missing the latch piece for the finial. Outside each holster are tin cartridge holders which are covered in leather and have a flap as well. The leather section joining the two together is complete and stable. Both holsters have the securing piece which was used to tie the holsters down to the saddle to keep them from flapping around. Both brass caps are present but only one appears to be secured by the original tacks, the other one is tightly fit on the leather. There are no markings other than on the piece in the center with 'MASS' stamped into the leather. This is a killer set that will enhance any saddle or cavalry display.

Here is a nice looking bridle rosette from the Murfreesboro area. It is 2" in diameter and still has the iron back and bar. It has a nice mellow patina in the front. This is a plain face type often found in camps of both side and is often referenced in many of the artifact books. It has great display appeal.
