The shape is all wrong for the C96 as the magazine would not fit into the holster properly. Pic of a C96 holster attached. It is much more squared off to take the gun properly. These also came as a wooden holster which doubled as a detachable shoulder stock.
My guess as to the subject holster would be for a Gasser Montenegren revolver which is a very big beast. Barrel length of these is 235mm with an overall length of 375mm which would fit with what you have. They weighed 1.3kg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasser_M1870
I assume that there is no sign of any marks on the leather?

Mars pistol holster?

Yes. It looks like the Gasser would be a better guess. Agreed.

Looks a little like the one Teddy is wearing.

I'm attaching a photo of a Colt New Service revolver; they came in many barrel lengths, with the one depicted having a 5.5" barrel. Six-inch barrels were also made, as well as 4", 4.5", 5" and 7.5". The pistol was introduced in 1898, and, with some modifications along the way, was produced up to 1946.
