I even found some neat leather for it.

This little Colt has several pairs of shoes. I had the mother of pearl on to give it a fancy air to go with the floral carved holster. I have sambar stag and the original black plastic stocks for this one, but the stag has a loose escutcheon and the black plastic stocks have a crack that I don't wish to see spread.
That is one beautiful holster. My grandfather made one similar for my cap pistol in the early 1950s. The plastic and nylon of today don't compare!
