Curly Bill Brocius Belt from Tombstone
Curly Bill Belt handmade 2 1/2 inches wide fully looped
– a hand-made leather belt from Tombstone. {1993}
COLOR: Deadwood Brown
This is the Curly Bill Movie Belt that Powers Boothe wears as Curly Bill Brocius, in Tombstone. It was patterned after the rig that the historical Curly Bill wore. 2 Cartridge belts, one worn backwards and two strong hand draw holsters. Like most of the actors cast in Tombstone, Powers Boothe has an uncanny likeness to the historical Curly Bill. In our books this makes 1993s Tombstone, perhaps the best cast western yet made.
The historical Curly Bill, was a real hand full and one of the truly dangerous men of the old west. He was a mean drunk, and people stayed clear of Bill Brocius when he was in his cups. Bill got his nick name from the soiled doves that admired his hair. He was often referred to as Arizona’s most famous outlaw, and without a doubt a man to steer clear of.
Brocius had a number of run ins with Wyatt and the rest of the Earp family. He was named as one of the suspects in Morgan Earp’s murder. In Wyatt’s infamous Revenge Ride he and his deputies, including his brother Warren and Doc Holliday, chased down all they felt responsible for Morgan’s murder and Virgil’s bushwhacking.
The Earp Posse stumbled on Curly Bill’s group at Iron Springs. As the men scrambled for cover, Wyatt engaged Curly Bill, eventually killing Brocius with a shotgun blast. The outlaw’s gun had jammed on a cartridge, which was bad luck for Bill but a common occurrence of the day.

GUNBELT MEASUREMENT and BUCKLES (below)
Correct Gun Belt Measurement
Getting the correct gun belt measurement is easy if you follow some simple steps.
- Put on a pair of britches/pants you plan to wear with your gun belt
- Have handy any belt that currently fits you. You can even use a piece of string.
- Put the belt on and buckle it where you will wear your gun belt Slightly down over your hips in most cases. Remember the gun belt will be supporting another 4 pounds per pistol and holster {about 3 lbs for the pistol; 1 lb for the holster} That weight will drag the belt down. You may want to go another notch tighter in your measuring.
- Make note of the most comfortable hole in which the buckle goes through.
- Lay the belt on a flat surface and measure from the end of the buckle to the most comfortable hole. See picture below.
- Distance from the buckle end to the centre hole of your belt will be the measurement you supply us with. This is now your gun-belt size.
- Generally this measurement should be about 3 to 4 inches larger than your jean size.
