The Moyer firm as saddle and harness makers in Philadelphia dates to 1811. By the time of the Civil War, it was run by brothers William, Edward, and Augustus. They had government contracts in 1862-63 (and perhaps at other points) for various accouterments, including shoulder and waist belts, scabbards, pistol cartridge boxes, saber belts, etc. They also advertised themselves as selling “officers’ military equipment,” saddles, bridles, valises, haversacks, etc. This is a nicely marked example of one of their holsters.

The slimmer flap of this holster is designed to leave the pistol’s grips exposed for faster handling, and the cumbersome closing tab was omitted in favor of a native fastening hole on the flap.  All stitching remains strong, with a possible reinforcement stitch around the toe plug. A single belt loop is securely attached to the reverse at an angle for left-hand draw or inverted right-hand draw. Leather remains supple, largely free of major crazing, and there are no overt signs this holster was used.  Stamped vertically on the flap is the manufacturer’s stamp “MOYER”.  Dimensions are 4.5” x 14.25” at the widest and longest points.   [cm][ph:L]
