This is a sturdy, full-flap leather holster sized for a large-frame, large-caliber revolver. It has the general form of the U.S. military revolver holsters of the early 20th century, such as the M1909 and M1917 patterns. The holster is built of heavy, dark brown, oil-finished leather with a sewn welt seam running the length of the body. The large rounded flap closes over a single brass finial stud. The holster hangs from a separate leather belt hanger by a round, swivel-style attachment secured with a large domed brass rivet. This allows the holster to pivot when the wearer is mounted or seated. Two brass wire hooks extend on the back of the hanger fit a cartridge or pistol belt with eyelets. The muzzle end is open and not stitched. A single iron split rivet reinforces the tip stitching.

Approximate Dimensions

  • Overall length, including belt hanger: about 14 to 14½ inches
  • Holster body length, flap tip to muzzle: about 13 inches
  • Maximum height across flap and body: about 6 inches
  • Barrel section width: about 1¾ to 2 inches
  • Belt hanger width: about 2¼ to 2½ inches
  • Domed brass swivel rivet: about 1 inch in diameter

Condition
The holster is in good overall condition, with honest, even, age-appropriate wear and no restoration evident. The leather is still sound and holds its shape well. The finish has a pleasing dark oxblood-brown patina. There is fine surface crazing and light cracking to the grain, most noticeable on the back panel near the swivel. Scattered scuffs and scratches are found throughout, and a few small pale rub spots appear near the muzzle and along the upper edge. The edges show normal wear, with raw leather exposed along the flap edge, the muzzle end and the corners of the belt hanger.

All stitching appears intact, except one approximate 2-inch section near the lower muzzle end. The stitching around the swivel tab and belt loop are very tight. The flap opens and closes properly over the brass stud. The stud slot appears slightly stretched from usage. The underside of the flap shows the natural flesh side of the leather, darkened with handling stains and a few faint dark marks near the edge. These marks look like staining rather than legible markings.

The brass stud and the domed swivel rivet have an untouched patina. There is light verdigris around the stud base. A few small verdigris spots also appear on the leather near the hardware. Both wire belt hooks are present, solid and unbroken, with a matching patina.

This is a solid, displayable example of a large-frame revolver holster. It would be a good companion to a period revolver or a fine addition to a leather gear collection. [stp] [ph:L]
