FINE CONFEDERATE HOLSTER FOR LEECH & RIGDON REVOLVER

FINE CONFEDERATE HOLSTER FOR LEECH & RIGDON REVOLVER. This holster, once in the collection of Ted Meredith, is a fine, brown leather Military-Style Flap Holster with a riveted brass finial. Typical of Confederate holsters, there is no plug utilized at muzzle end. According to Ted’s notes, this holster once held Leech & Rigdon serial number “993”. Whether or not this holster was made by Leech & Rigdon we do not know, however it does fit a Leech & Rigdon pistol or another Confederate-made Navy-sized pistol quite well. Good solid brown leather Civil War-era holsters are difficult to find if one wants one for display. This holster is well made with a slight incised line cut around edge of flap. Leather belt loop is sewn as is flap. PROVENANCE: Ted Meredith Coll. CONDITION: Holster is very good overall with some crazing & cracking, especially at folds. There is some loose sewing at muzzle end for about 1/2″ and some distortion at muzzle end as can be seen in pictures. There is about a 1/4″ chip of leather out of top left corner of belt loop. 4-45797-1 JS27 (1,000-2,000)
