Large Civil War Period Dragoon Holster, 11-1/2'' long, approx. 4-3/4'' at widest point, mfg'd of black harness leather with large copper rivets, as was typical of arsenal made holsters of the period. Holster was decoratively incised at a later point, possibly the Civil War, with double border squiggly line motifs, as well as an incised pistol in the center, and is shaped similarly to a Rogers & Spencer Civil War revolver. All model Colt Dragoon revolvers fit nicely in this holster. Condition is excellent retaining almost all of its original stitching with copper rivets being affixed securely. Exterior shows slight checking and crazing but no losses to speak of. Just a great early, probably pre-Civil War, holster. Est.: $750-$1,000.
