DOUBLE FLINTLOCK HOLSTER for COMMENT
Just picked up this holster for way less than the cost of a beer and a bar meal. The leather is sound though some stitching is missing and the embroidery is somewhat faded.
I have seen these attributed to Ottoman Turkey, Dalmatia(Albania) and the Caucasus, though I am not sure which region this one belongs to. The pistols did not come with it (I had to provide those) and I have a question about the placement of these in the holster. I have seen illustrations of them placed in both ways shown, though mostly side by side rather than opposing. Any comments welcome. Stu |
