Actually, it is quite a bit earlier. It is a converted 1879 Reichsrevolver holster. In addition to the added section on the front and back of the holster, you can tell by the stitching holes where the top reinforcement was removed and the squared off toe where the holster was shortened from the long barreled Reichsrevolver configuration. I have been wanting to acquire an example of a converted holster like this and would love to bid on this one, but since the seller doesn't use Paypal I have no idea how I would pay for it if I won.
