Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Very nice original WW2 issue leather shoulder holster for the Colt M1911 .45 pistol. Adopted in 1942, this holster was standard issue for aircraft and tank crews, and was often used by officers who preferred it to the hip holster. In combat areas, all sorts of troops found ways to "acquire" handguns and the regulations as to who was and wasn't permitted to carry them were rarely enforced.
Original M3's were made in plain, natural leather, as they age they can darken through exposure to oil, dirt, and sweat that turns holsters a russet brown color. This example is a nice aged brown color, with a great finish. Leather is supple and flexible. It is embossed on the front U.S. meaning it was military issue (not civilian) and is clearly stamped on the reverse:
