Very large flap holster for discussion

The Colt pictured or the similar S&W in 455 could fit.
Teddys holster in his (crowded hour on San Juan hill) had a 38 Colt in it recovered from the sunken battle ship USS Maine in Cuba in 1898. It was much later stolen but had engraved Teddys name with some history on the side plate. A woman's boyfriend saw the pistol she had and realized what it was. Calling the FBI, it was returned and placed in a museum. A writeup is in Stuart Mowbray's Man at Arms for the Gun Collector magazine.
I get caught up in the history behind these great items
