Saw this in a museum.  Be willing to bet it was used on more than buckskin.  Looks a bit hand crafted in Fredericksburg, Tx, ingenious adjustment and lock mechanism.  Looks like it was carved from a stick to do the job well!  Smooth curves to fit the hand nicely, great design and finish.  Stood the test of time, I'd say!  Just wanted to share.

1875??? Wow  It’s older than the C.S. Osborne draw gauge I have. Mine is from 1877

@chriscraft That's a looker!  Interesting all steel and wood?  I just picked this one up, steel, wood and brass.  I am in the process of cleaning it up.  How did you determine how old yours is?
