Traditional Holster for Vintage Colt DA Revolver

[bonza]

I have a Colt Army Special in .32WCF with 6" barrel, made in 1922. It is in great shape & a wonderful shooter that I enjoy immensely. I would like to get a period correct holster for it, for carrying in the field, what should I be looking for? Photos of holster suggestions would be a great help!

A 1920's period correct holster? That was the beginning of Hollywood screwing up history with the classic non-authentic 'quick draw' holsters seen in Tom Mix and Hoot Gibson(actually was a Rodeo winner) movies.
Or this kind of stuff? I know nothing about the guy's quality.

Take a look at the Bianchi 5BH. I carried a S&W M15 in one of these for years. Not from the 20s but it is certainly a classic design.

How about an El Paso Saddelry's 1920 Tom Threeperson's holster?

If you can find a vintage HH Heiser holster in the right size, I think it would make a good match.

I found a Brauer Bros. holster on E-bay for $25

Hunter's 1100 model is very similar inexpensive current production holster.

You can always make your own. It's a pretty simple and fun project.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I have located a nice Heiser holster & will probably go ahead & get that. Will report back!
