CIVIL WAR FLAP HOLSTER FOR ARMY REVOLVERS

$395.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 31-1591

Hard to find, this is a black leather holster made to accommodate the Colt, Remington and other .44 caliber “Army” revolvers.

The holster measures about 15 ½” long with its flap closed. Holster is made from two pieces of black bridle leather; the flap being machine-stitched to the body. An old, but replaced, closure tab is riveted to the underside of the flap. This tab is unbroken and flexible. Holster has a wide belt loop on the reverse that measures 3” wide at the top and is still strongly stitched and riveted in place. Loop is in strong, flexible condition. Holster body still retains its a leather plug sewn to close the muzzle end of the holster. With a revolver inserted, the flap fits perfectly over the handle and the closure tab secures over the small brass, bullet-head finial attached to the main body. There are no makers’ marks visible.

In overall good condition, this holster shows heavy use. Entire leather body shows crazing and areas where there is loss of the surface finish. Most notably on the “hinge” area of the flap. Two small spots are worn through: where the flap rubbed on the hammer spur and where the front edge of the cylinder rubbed against the side.

This is a good, military-style flap holster that would accommodate an “Army” sized revolver.  [jet]
