Yes, this one must have belonged in a pair.
Here are some lousy pictures taken with a camera from the "Collector's Illustrated Encyclopedia of the American Revolution", by George C. Neuman. The book binding is too tight and the page margins are narrow; not possible to do it with the scanner.  . |

Apparently horse pistol holsters were already used by the time of the wheellock system.
Here is the equestrian statue of Portuguese King Dom Joćo IV (1630-1645), sculpted F. Franco in the 19th century; this assuming the artist has not given wings to his imagination. - |

Hi Fernando
Many thanks for the information and all the images Very happy with my purchase and at a bargain price, I think. I got my eight year son to do the negotiating so he learned a bit from the purchase as well I will edit the thread to give a more definitive descriptor Best regards Ken |
