The 1898 Tombstone Skeleton Shoulder Harness with Single Holster was originally designed with a filing for patent on August 18, 1898 by a E. D. Zimmerman and simply listed  on the Patent Application as a Pistol Holder.  I truly wish I could present a story more worthy of the Old West Lore like the one I first heard about this design, here it is in a very much condensed version I was truly Riveted in the extended version many years ago when the full story included some Drinking, Gambling and loose talk. 

To make a long story short due to a shortage of supplies in the early town of  Tombstone, Arizona the Sheriff  had no holster due to a shortage of leather as well as many other supplies.   Well the Sheriffs Gun hung on a Wood Backer attached to the wall with a hook in it in which the gun was hung. 

Well once when the Sheriff was called out for a Gunfight he still had no holster so he tied a rope to that wood backer he ripped off the wall and hung it over his shoulder and proceeded to walk out for his Gunfight and would you believe he died right there with the gun still on the hook.  Well as the say in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence "When the Legend becomes fact Print the Legend" well in this case we just couldn't do that !!
