On Blackie Thomas’s YouTube channel he shows carrying a Pietta 1858 Sheriff’s Model in a replica holster for the US M1917 revolvers. He got his from Sportsman’s Guide. I bought this one from Sarco for $25 + shipping. The quality seems pretty good — nice thick leather and good stitching. There’s no indicator where it was made but I have a feeling it’s from India.
As built, the holster fits the gun except that flap isn’t quite long enough to fasten. So, I added an extension by riveting on a piece of leather. I got the color to almost match just by applying some 100% neatsfoot oil.

With the extension:
When I added the extension I made sure to not block the original hole in the flap. This allows it to still be used for an M1917 revolver.
Edit: I just checked and my Pietta 1851 Navy Sheriff's model also fits.
