Look up El Paso Saddlery. They still make some of the designs they did in that era. No specific differences in holsters between these and other guns, like the Colt SAA.

You probably know that your gun is likely unsafe to fire with modern ammunition? Even if it's one of the better copies amd was proof tested in Belgium, it was probably made for black powder pressures.
