    Description

    Model 1892 colt revolver flap holster. U.S. Army, marked 1909 rock island arsenal, TOC . It is numbered  107.   Very nice example , leather still very supple, nice brown patina, US logo very clear and sharp,stitching very good shape, plug still in end, lanyard ring in great shape, some scuffs and wear  but overall great shape to be over 100 yrs old. Nice piece of american history. Trying to do justice to the collection as I list and sell.  IF there is anything i have left out or have wrong, please advise.  I have not cleaned or oiled any of the leather for fear of hurting it more than helping it.   There is a hole punched in the leather to the right of the rock island stamp.  Assume it was for a leather strap.  There are also 2 aligned holes at the bottom of the holster just above the lanyard ring, presumably for another rawhide strap.
    See photos to answer most questions and make an informed decision before making a bid or offer and  ask what you need and I will try to provide answers about the product.
