This small black leather holster was made for the M-1870 Remington single shot pistol. Between 1873 and 1889 many of these holsters were modified to accommodate revolvers that fired metallic cartridges. This holster is unmodified from its original configuration.

The holster “pocket” measures about 7.5” along its front edge. Holster body is made from a single piece of black bridle leather sewn closed along the back edge and has a flap stitched to the body. This flap “buttons” closed with the typical brass finial attached to the outside. Holster has a narrow belt loop on the reverse that is stitched in place. Holster body does not have a leather plug closing the end of the holster.

A maker’s mark is stamped on the front side, “US. N.Y / BOSTON”.

In overall very good condition, this holster shows light use. Entire leather body shows crazing but no loss of the surface finish. This is a rare, Navy flap holster for the Remington Rolling Block pistol.  [jet] [ph:L]
