Time period and vetting of an odd holster

I just picked this up because of its uniqueness. I'm thinking that it is 1940s-50s period. No name on the holster.
It fits a four-inch medium frame revolver and has five ammo loops for 38 caliber rounds and slits in back for a belt. Your thoughts are welcome.

I'd tend to agree with your approximate dating but could not offer you a specific year. It reminds me of an old motorcycle officer's holster.

Neat! I think these were for the back pocket of uniform trousers. Ideal for a desk seargent!

I don't think it would be very comfortable to sit on.
