This gorgeous classic smooth saddle
and holster/gunbelt rig was
made for a Tucson, AZ Sheriff. Edward H.
Bohlin created many saddles in his early days that were not embellished with
more silver than a few choice conchos, focusing instead on the artistry of
leatherwork and comfort of both rider and horse. The saddle, the holster
and the gun belt are all maker marked "EDWARD H.
BOHLIN INC, MAKER, HOLLYWOOD, CAL". A beautiful piece of Bohlin and
Western history. The holster and gun-belt are both stamped in the leather
and the buckle is stamped BOHLINMADE, HOLLYWOOD, CALIF., STAINLESS STEEL on the
back.

About This Antique Bohlin-Made Saddle, Holster and Gunbelt:
About The Maker, Edward H. Bohlin: Edward H. Bohlin emigrated from Sweden in 1920 with a dream of being a cowboy. He worked on Western ranches, including one owned by the famous William 'Buffalo Bill' Cody. He opened up a leather shop in Cody, Wyoming and learned his trade. A chance meeting with Tom Mix led Ed Bohlin to the harness shop at MGM Studios and his well-earned reputation as 'Saddlemaker to the Stars' began. Bohlin opened a Shop in Hollywood close to the Al Furstnow Company, which was part of the famous saddle shop Bohlin had visited earlier in Miles City, Montana. Edward Bohlin's leather work and silver-smithing made his saddles, gun leather, knife sheaths, spurs, boots, decorative conchos, buckles and bullets the most coveted and collectible. Although the fancy saddles Bohlin designed for cowboy stars provided him with great publicity, his stock designs sold to private horsemen were probably his greatest source of day-to-day income.
