Old West gear, post Civil War, pre 1920s? I am most interested in holsters.

Vintage, or style? Vintage Idk, but style, look into the cowboy action shooting gear.

The reason I was asking is I bought a cheap holster on eBay. It came yesterday. The leather was in really good condition, soft and supple. The stitching was shot, the thread rotten. I restitched the thing, applied some leather conditioner and it is now a nice holster. It is a perfect fit for a 1917 style revolver. I am trying to figure out if this is a late 1800s or early 1900s holster or something else. I believe that it was hand made and was certainly hand stamped on the belt loop. (shown with S&W 1917)
