Saddle Holsters

[parrothead]

Has anyone ever seen a set of saddle holsters like these ever offered for sale? I bought them from a guy who claimed they were Walker holsters. I don't have two Walkers, but I do have two Dragoons so I thought they would fit. Wrong. Walker is too big, Dragoons will fit (as shown in the photo) but the flap won't attach due to the grip sticking out to far. From the inside you can see that something was kept in them, but what? Did they make these for small frame revolvers, like 1860s? They are well made but an odd color trim.

Thanks,
Mark

They could be for single shot horse pistols

Well of course, "custom" holsters like those could/would be made for anything,, right?
As an aside, it looks like you could make those flaps fit much better to your application by simply repositioning the stitching at the hinge point and or the flap catch strap.
