Highway patrolman's holster for short-barrelled revolver, reverse marked with 'Richmond VA' (VA = Virginia). Complete with six dummy rounds in .38 special (primers have been detonated).
It has had wear but is in reasonable condition for its age.

As always, I'm very happy with the purchase and it makes a nice addition to my small collection.

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.
By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
