Ammo pouch flap secured by brass stud; clamshell cover has attached strap that also secures to brass stud. Slight verdigris on studs, strap buckle & in cartridge loops. Slightly lesser condition for strap being oiled & darker w/ some light cracking of leather. Photo of similar holster shown on P264 of "THE BROOMHANDLE PISTOL 1896-1936" by Erickson & Pate.
