CONFEDERATE-USED HOLSTER

CONFEDERATE-USED HOLSTER Standard military-style Navy-sized holster. Belt loop is attached with 2 copper rivets. Finial is a furniture tack, sometimes seen on Confederate cartridge boxes and accouterments. Mr. Michel’s notes state the following: “Dark brown leather holster with flap held by copper finial. Single wide belt loop secured with 2 copper rivets. When found, the holster held a Griswold & Gunnison revolver, since separated. The holster has secured to the back an old label reading o’Griswold & Grier Confederate’ as these revolvers were once known.” Finding Confederate holsters that are truly associated with Confederate handguns is difficult. This is a nice, usable, displayable holster that could be used with any Griswold or Iron Frame Navy revolver. CONDITION: Solid and supple. Several small cracks and tears at folds. Belt loop is solid. Plug at muzzle is broken, and only about 50% present. Surfaces are crazed and mottled. Black surface is almost completely intact. Brass finial and rivets are nicely patinated. 4-31364 JS89 (1,000-2,000)
