French saddlers...

The french revolvers M1873/M1874/M1892 received a very nice holster model. The french saddlers at the time used to do the same high quality job as their German colleagues. Here is some photos of an extremely rare M1873/M1874 holster for the french Spahis troops. It is reddish and textured calf leather. (Holster from my ending collection).

Absolutely fabulous! An outstanding example of fine craftsmanship and no doubt the best surviving example. Congratulations.
