I came across an auction for this rig HERE.
Starting bid is $5000.00
From the auction site:
It was owned by country music singers Willie Nelson and David Allan Coe and worn in three movies by these men. The rig was worn in three movies by Mr. Coe and Mr. Nelson. 1) Buckstone County Prison 1978 with David Allan Coe and Earl Owensby. 2) Barbarosa 1982 with Willie Nelson and Gary Busey. 3) Red Headed Stranger 1986 with Willie Nelson and Morgan Fairchild. It is a beautiful custom set with the belt buckle, knife handle, and gun grips in all matching Native American art. The original provenance which is seen in the photographs is included with this set. The knife included in this set is made by Master Bladesmith Wayne Goddard. I wrote to Mr. Goddard to inquire if he made this knife and this was part of Mr. Goddard's reply, "The knife blade is part of an original knife I made in the early 70’s. At that time I made my logo with a set of chisels that I made…that makes each logo an original. I think that whoever made the pistol grips also modified the original skinning knife by making it into a narrow tang to fit the deer antler crown."
