1881 us caverly holster 1896 modification

Description:
This is an example of a full-length 1881 pattern cavalry holster for the Colt Single Action Army and the Smith and Wesson Schofield .45 caliber revolvers. Both were issued to cavalry units and the 1881 pattern holster was provided with two holes in the flap to allow the angle to be changed to contain either revolver. These holsters were often shortened later for use with the shorter barrel Colts issued to all branches of service, but usually called the “artillery” model. This holster, however, is still full length and the body shows a crackled crazing finish,. The flap has areas of finish loss, which is not unusual from repeated flexing from drawing the pistol.  The rear of the belt loop shows some loss to the finish that could also be improved without much effort. The seams are mostly   tigh  and the toe plug is in place.i dont  see  any   letters or  numbers  on  holster //leather is  still  supple// $25 sh ins
