Lot consists of 3 holsters: (A) Early war Colt Army holster, sewn only, no rivets, straight line stitching to latch tab. Commercial style flower button fastening the tab. Butt forward configuration. CONDITION: Very good. Toe plug in place. Body and belt loop solid. Crackling to black finish and scattered rubs, but good color. (B) Commercial officer style, elongated front with tab and retaining strap. Loops riveted. CONDITION: Good. Leather soft. Wear to finish. Some fatty deposits from leather. Toe plug missing. Like for a 6" pocket, which would push out the toe plug. Butt to rear config. (C) Nice commercial officer style holster for 6" pocket. Elongated flap with integral tab. Fastening stud and sewn retaining strap. Belt loop shows wear from flexing and is fitted with horseshoe buckle, sometimes taken as a southern indication, but likely a commercial variant. CONDITION: Very good. Minor crackling to finish on flap and reverse. Minor rubs to edges. A few flakes of finish from lower reverse. Nice rounded toe, sewn and intact. Butt forward configuration. The Colt Army holster is particularly scarce.
