that looks great! Do we have any historic references? I always just chuck mine into a bag of some kind.

From what I've seen, this might not be too historically inaccurate except that you wouldn't have likely seen an open bottom. To note:
"In the 1850s, as a wide variety of handguns were developed, holster styles rapidly developed as well. Many civilian holsters mimicked the military holsters with flaps that fully covered and protected the gun from fouling due to exposure to weather. Others were made for quicker access, and featured open tops."

It is. I wear it cowboy holstered on my left side. Big pistol like that is easier draw from across.
