I had started a thread on this holster awhile back, the seller lowered the price so I decided to buy it.
It's really a beautifully done tooled holster, missing the stud but I just ordered one to replace it.
I debated buying it because I couldn't figure out what fit it. I just got it today and I have no gun in my collection that will fit.
Back when I post it crazyphil suggested it might be for a Colt 1903 or similar.
I had a 1908 model years ago but alas I sold it.
Well now I have a holster I'll have to buy a gun for....:D

When it's safe to venture out... take it to pawn shop? or shops that handle older guns. Buy the guy a coffee and see if they'll let you try some likely candidates.

As a one time leather worker... Wonderful work.

I'll hit up some of my buddies that may have some that might fit then I'll try your idea and your right whoever made that holster knew what they were doing.
 
FIT?

Looks a bit small for a 45? How about this one? A 1920 I frame in 38S&W.? :)

Thanks Richard and your probably right but I just bought a 1903 from a member that had one in the for sale section here.
I had also looked at some early Remington's and Savages from the same era that most likely would have fit.
It's pretty amusing when someone has to buy a gun just to fit a holster..:D

Considering some of the reasons people have for buying a gun...I'd say yours is one of the most wholesome. Sorry, but my news comes up from St. Louis.:eek::(

I rarely watch any news on TV even though I'm 40 miles from St. Louis I just can't take the 24/7 drama news cycle.
When I retired 6 years ago I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't cross the Missouri river into St. Louis county unless I needed something from Cabela's and I haven't broken that promise...:)

Andy I'm anxious to see that 1903 fitting properly in that gorgeous
holster. Hope it all works out for you.
By the way, I have had to go shopping for guns to fit in holsters
I bought. And more than just once.

I'll post up some photos after I get the 1903 I'm in the process of exchanging info with the member here I bought it from.
Honestly this the first time I've purchased in reverse order of holster first gun second....:o

I rebuilt this 1908 380 rusted up barn find a few years ago, nightmare to work on, but one of the best shooting handguns I own.

Put one of these together and you'll know what a genius John Browning was.

I cross the Clark Bridge to get gas and fireworks, and to fish, but that's about it. I haven't been to the Katy Trail all year and I love riding there.

I only live about 1 1/2 miles from the Mississippi river no bridges to cross to go fishing and for me and that's pretty often (river permitting).
The few times I've went to Alton it was easier and shorter for me to use a ferry into Calhoun county and again at brussels on the Illinois river to get there.
It's always amazed me how much cheaper gas is in Missouri vs Illinois.
I have fished in the area your talking about at the confluence but generally launch at Columbia bottoms on the Missouri river.
