As for the belt loop, I like the question, because it reminds that when we consider the story by Nelson about Rabensburg, the style was intended to be a trousers belt holster. And indeed these pics of the Rabensburg of Trimble, and of an identical setup marked Brill, are fitted to trousers belts about 1-3/4" wide that are of the Ranger style (notice most, but not all, the details of both belts, and both holsters, are the same; but only one set is marked Brill and on both the holster cuff and the belt end).

Nevertheless, I have images that show these styles fitted to very wide belts up to 2-1/4" or so. Generally my images of all makers show them fitted to trousers belts, some perhaps as narrow as 1".
Is the cuff skived at each end? Dunno, never handled one.
