Concur. If you notice his posture, he is slightly turned towards his right, and the holster is pushed forward so you can see the bullet loops on the holster harness. I think the holster was originally designed and built back in the late 1890s for SA revolvers, and to me, it appears that it would be a lot heavier and bulkier than a modern day shoulder holster for a modern day revolver. Heck, with modern day materials, you could get away with the holster itself made of leather while the harness made largely be made of nylon webbing straps that would be much lighter, slimmer, and offer a better draw stroke (pull through the spring clip vs. up through the top). Probably more cost effective than the El Paso rig as well, though that company does make a fine product.
