CIVIL WAR ERA LEATHER FLAP HOLSTER FOR A COLT M1849 REVOLVER

$550.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: M23998

This leather accoutrement is a Civil War-era belt flap holster popular prior to and during the War. This fine civilian accoutrement is machine-made and measures 9½” long with its flap closed. The pattern and configuration of the piece is that it accommodates a Colt Model 1849 cap and ball revolver perfectly. Holster is cut from a large single piece of thick, brown russet leather that is folded over and stitched at the back side to form the main body. In excellent condition, this holster bears no visible maker marks. Flap cover shows light creasing at the flap and on the single belt loop on back, but no flaking and surface cracking at all. Original closure tab is a wide, tapered leather strap 4½” x 1” with a single line of tooling along the entire flap edge and decorative tooling on flap surface. No rivets. No brass finial. The integral leather tab has no adjustment hole but the holster body has a single loop that the flap tab fits snugly into. All stitching is original and strong. The holster body exhibits a strong, smooth hard surface with just light scuffing in spots. Muzzle never had its plug. A clean, military-style leather flap holster in very fine overall condition for a small (.31 cal) Colt M1849 revolver.
