CIVIL WAR FLAP HOLSTER FOR ARMY REVOLVERS

Hover to zoom

This is a black leather holster made for revolvers. The leather still shows the “profile” of a revolver cylinder and barrel. A .44 caliber “Army” model fits into this perfectly.

The holster “pocket” measures 11.5” along its front edge and is made of a single piece of black bridle leather, folded and sewn along the back seam. The large flap is sewn in place and the belt loop riveted and sewn to the back. The leather closing tab is riveted and sewn in place and remains complete and unbroken. This tab has two holes, a tooled edge, and “WHP” stamped on the end. The associated brass finial is sewn in place and remains tightly attached.

Belt loop is approximately 3.25” wide and is attached by three rivets and a double row of stitching. The leather plug that closes the end of the holster remains tightly sewn in place. There are no makers stamps.

In overall very good condition, this holster shows use. Portions show crazing but leather is supple. Rear seam has split at two 2” long points, otherwise stitching is good.

This is a good, military-style flap holster that would accommodate a Civil War revolver. From the Texas Civil War Museum collection.  [jet] [ph:L]
