Looks like a pre ww1 holster for a 1911 to me.

It's close to the 1911 type but the flap is different and there should be a large US where the MG is. I'm kinda stumped on this one
Thanks

I repeat; most likely for a revolver.
Here is a private purchase revolver holster in a similar vein

Swivel holster for the 1917 revolver maybe.
Here are several. Top one looks similar.
If some were private purchase, there may well be variations amongst holsters
M1917 revolver WW2 swivel holster - U.S. Militaria Forum
Verdict: M1917 revolver private purchase/commercial swivel holster.
Scout,
I think you hit it on the mark. I have a 1917 and a 1901 Colt at home. I'll try them out tonight. I also think this this may have been a private purchase holster for a web belt since there is no US on the flap.
Thanks
Burt
