	Well, here's Mordt. I'm not even going to try and pretend that I know a thing about the Mordt Company—except that it was in Chicago. I hope that some of you will enlighten me so that I can add to the record. Obviously their products are still being collected and those who discarded them in the "Good Old Days" are now regretting it!




	Mordt Shoot 'Em Set



				Here's a particularly rare set with wrist cuffs, holster and box. Thanks to Rich Hall.

This is an extremely rare (though perhaps not all that valuable) Junior Ranger set from Mordt.

And here's what's left of a Texas Ranger set from Mordt. Notice those deep dips in the holster pockets? That seems to be characteristic of Mordt holsters.

Well, after saying that the curvature in the pocket just screams, "Mordt," I guess I am going to have to surmise that this set was also made by Mordt. It looks like a set that must have been made during World War II because of the patriotic symbols on the box. The holsters have written on them, "Let "em Buck." If any of you have a better idea of who made this set, then please let me know.

These photos are of a 1928 Mordt Jr. Ranger .32 caliber. There are so few Mordt Cap Guns left that I am including one of the very old cast iron guns. Photos by Mark King.

Here's a good example of what you can do with some leather and a lot of talent. The holster on the right is original and the one on the left is a reproduction of the same. The Cap Guns are Mordt (and the right holster). Chuck Quinn says Ed can make anything!

	Mordt Kid's Holster






	This is a vintage Mordt kid's western holster and belt. The Belt has 7 painted wooden bullets. The back of the holster is signed "Made By The Mordt Co." Many thanks to "unverviking" for these photos.

This same holster is in even better shape. Mordt products are really scarce, but not necessarily very valuable since not as many people collect them.

	Mordt Cap / Dart Gun From The 1930's



				Mordt made a few really nice cast-iron cap guns and this one is a good example. Actually this gun fires darts too, according to Jim Schleyer. I have purposefully left the rust on the gun, but it is hard to find cast-iron guns of this period (the 1930's) that aren't rusted a little now. You will notice that this version is the more rare of the two versions, in that it has the pearl grips.

Well, I may as well just paste in the full-sized photos, as Mordt Cap Guns are a little hard to come by! This is from about 1932 and is the same basic gun as that one above, but it doesn't have plastic grips. I don't really know if it fires the darts.

Here is the same gun, but also with the box, which Chuck tells me is much more valuable than the gun!!! In many cases that is true.
