C063474 U.S. M-1881 FIRST TYPE HOLSTER WITH NARROW LOOP.
An Ultra-Rare first type M1881 holster with a narrow loop for the Cavalry saber belt. This holster was designed to accommodate with the Model 1873 Colt .45 or the Smith & Wesson Schofield .45 Revolver as a replacement for the Model 1878 holster. The holster, produced at Rock Island Arsenal from April 1881 to January 1883, were later modified to increase the size of the loop to fit over the Mills Prairie Cartridge Belt, thus the rarity of this particular holster. The body is solid, and includes the plug. It is embossed "U.S." to the body, with the flap showing a faint marking for "Rock Island Arsenal" which is due to the heavier usage/wear from flexing/flaking.
