I'd think the Civil War re-enactor suppliers would have something?
Tried that, plenty of places to buy a holster, all I want is the pattern.

Sir, Tandy leather has the pattern your looking for or you can try EBay.

Tandy leather used to have holster patterns a very long time ago.

Also, I can make you a pattern if you like, I do leather work/tooling, and have for years. Do you need right or left handed and I am assuming you want it with a flap. Just let me know.
I had not thought of looking there, thanks
Wow! You guys are much better than me, I looked on both Tandy, and EBay, could not find any.

I think the cavalry revolver should be a 8 inch barrel, not the short version.
I am more concerned with getting the flap right than the barrel length.

That’s no problem as I can make you a pattern without any problems. Left or right handed?
Wow thanks, right handed please.

How do I get it to you?
Can you send it to email or conventional mail?

Just pickin' nits, being an old cavalry trooper, Calvary vs cavalry grates like fingernails on a blackboard.
My Googlefu is pretty weak but I didn't find any.

The free Tandy patterns are not easy to find on their website:
https://tandyleather.com/blogs/leathercraft-libraryThere are 154 pages of free patterns, and as near as I can tell no way to search or filter the freebies. I have downloaded the free holster patterns, but there isn’t a military style pattern in thier offerings. They have various western style and shoulder holster patterns.

I was wrong, in the free library is a Percussion Pistol Pattern Pak, stock 2691. I have it downloaded, but it is too big to post. The pak does have a flapped holster like what you are looking for.

My apologies to you sir, I will use the correct spelling from now on.
I made my own; I took a piece of cardboard about 6" longer than the gun, wrapped the pistol in a single fold, and cut around it, leaving the extra 6" above the gun on the back side, which becomes the flap. I cut it out of heavy leather, sewed it up the side ( leave the bottom open so detritus can fall out). After sewing, I soaked the holster in warm water to get it soft, the wrwpped the pistol in plastic and shoved it into the holster and let the leather dry. That ensures a good fit for the pistol, as the leather stretches to conform to the shape of your gun. Hav fun!
I've been looking for a pattern also for my Remington New army. I'm left handed so the standard flap holster works for me but I want a cross draw because I sit a lot and it's a big gun. I guess the main issue is the design of the belt hanger on the back so it will sit at the correct angle. Any suggestions? Could you post your design here on the board?
