CONFEDERATE FLAP HOLSTER.

CONFEDERATE FLAP HOLSTER. This holster is possibly a Confederate copy of a U.S. military holster for a Navy-sized revolver such as a Griswold or Leech & Rigdon. Holster is simply made by sewing one edge to the muzzle. Muzzle plug is also sewn into place, which is now partially detached. Flap is closed by an odd-shaped, brass finial. Belt loop is quite small, being just over 5/8″ wide, attached with 2 brass rivets. Regardless of who made this holster, it would make a nice display with any Confederate revolver of its size. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Thin, leather, hand-sewn holster with brass finial to hold top flap. Single narrow belt loop held by a single rivet.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Leather is supple. Stitching is still complete, except at muzzle where plug has broken loose but is still partially attached. Leather surfaces are well worn and flaking, especially at folds. Black surfaces are flaking, mottled, and crazed. 4-31365 JS91 (1,000-2,000)
