Not a clue, but I like it.

I'll bet it has some stories it could tell

That's a pretty old style stud clasp and the whip stitch is hand done. It's definitely a revolver holster, but I can't tell if it's for a 4" or 6" model.

The 44 is probably a model number because it looks like it could be for an old M&P .38 style of revolver. The 6 may be barrel length.

I don't understand why it would have that information but not a manufacturers mark. With the stitching & style and the way the flap folds in the corner it almost looks hand done, but the stamping belies that.

Maybe take a look at some of the older makers like George Lawrence and such. Then again, maybe some local maker made it and the numbers are just his marking system.

Enjoy the hunt.

Too bad the pistol wasn't included.

@AndyinEverson might know a little more.

My first thought / guess is that the holster is for either a Webley or Enfield revolver...maybe the "44" is a date stamp...?

I knew Andy would have an answer. Now keep in mind I didn't say he would be correct!!

Lots of close but no cigars here....maybe just a home brew version of one of the WWII revolver types.
