Old
West Posters
We've developed an original line of Old
West Poster Art - and frankly we think there's nothing
like it any where else. Old West Heroes like Buffalo Bill
Cody, Wild Bill Hickock, George Armstrong Custer, and
Gunfighters like Jesse James, Butch and Sundance, John
Wesley Hardin, Billy The Kid, and Doc Holliday have all
been faithfully portrayed in the context of their times.
We are located in the Alberta Rocky Mountains, in Calgary,
Canada. There are over 125 pages of old west history on
our website, and in our General Store we stock some of
the most original, authentic cowboy goods around.

Bat Masterson
was one of the most feared and respected "Shootist's"
of the Old West. He employed a cross-draw pull, and
his skill with a hand gun was such that everyone kept
theirs holstered with Masterson around. Own a classic
custom holster inspired by Bat's simple - yet elegant
rig.
Shown in black cow hide, with heavy, plain black belt.
In the holster is a 45 Cal. Schofield Agent Model,
with 3 1/2" barrel - nickel plated. We will custom
make to accommodate the make, model, and calibre of
your firearm. Side arm is very secure when pushed
down in the holster and comes with a hammer tie-down.

Back
in May, 2006 we were rounded up to work on a re-enactment
of the moment when Jack McCall walked into Tom Nuttal's
#10 Saloon on Aug 2 1876, in Deadwood, Dakota Territory,
and murdered Wild Bill Hickok.
This
painting by Canadian artist Ken Dewar, was the end result
of the afternoon of filming in Heritage Park, an authentic
19th century town, in Calgary. 130 years to the day that
McCall did his cowardly deed the painting was unveiled
in front of City Hall in Deadwood, South Dakota, on August
2, 2006.

The
Code of the West was an intangible thing born out
of necessity for survival, and is more of an observation
on how people acted, then anything else. . .in essence
this was the Code of the West: A true Cowboy always
helps his neighbor, feeds a stranger and his horse,
and maintains his free and in dependant spirit. In
the Old West you never asked a stranger his name or
where he came from. It was considered a slight to
call another man by his last name - and often last
names weren't even known. A cowboy's loyalty to his
ranch, his friends, and his abilities as a rider and
a cow hand were all that mattered. Click
