I found some info. about a special limited edition of the 2011 Pietta Starr Commemorative revolver on the Pietta website.
They were built to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the civil war.

Clicking on one the website photos will turn them into a filmstrip for better viewing. --->>> https://www.pietta.it/post/collector-s-corner

The Starr Commemorative holster with a matching belt and buckle is only shown on a Pietta PDF: --->>> http://www.pietta.us/pdf/GOW_42_CIVIL_WAR_GUNS.pdf
The PDF photos can be enlarged by clicking on + in the bottom right corner of the screen.

"...In the Spring 2011 issue of Guns of the Old West we debuted the machine engraved version of this gun made by F.lli Pietta, which is currently sold exclusively through Cabela’s. The hand engraved version shown is a limited edition, each of which is built to order and costs an impressive € 6,109 Euros or $8,736 in the US.

Limited to only 150 guns worldwide, they will be produced from 2011 through 2015 to correspond with the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War from 1861 to 1865.

The period correct Union Civil War flap holster shown with the gun is also limited to 150 examples; each handmade by Alan and Donna Soellner of Chisholm’s Trail Leather and fitted with a gold-plated, hand engraved plaque mounted on the flap. The handmade holster sells for $295...."
