Western Movie metal prop pistol and leather rig

This is a movie prop pistol.  Single Action Army  .45 .... Model 1874.  One of the pistols that won the West.  Accurate in virtually all details.

We've had several over the years, but I have no provenance on this one.  It is metal, realistic in weight.  The cylinder revolves; the hammer locks back and falls forward with the trigger pull; the cylinder is removable ... but there is no firing pin ; no bore ... it cannot and does not fire bullets.  It is made to simply look the part.  And made well!  

The holster and belt are heavyweight steer; great looking and well preserved.

Wish I knew the story; who made it and for what?  Did it wrap around any famous waists?  But for now, it is just a great memento of western movie making.   Remember, too, that if we did ... and there were tales to be re-told .... the price would be way more than it is.  This is a deal.
