Original Item: Only One Available. Here we have a very nice example of a 1917 dated French WWI Mle 1892 Revolver Leather Flap Holster, with a very rare Original Cross Belt. These are getting exceptionally hard to find as of late. Many simply have not survived the two world wars, and the following conflicts the French have been involved with in between and beyond.

The Model 1892 Revolver was a mainstay of the French Army during WWI, and was a standard issued item to French Officer’s, NCOs, and other positions which did not necessitate the issuance of a rifle or carbine.

The holster is in good condition for its age, with the leather still supple, showing a lovely russet brown color. It has however had the three small pockets on the front under the flap removed at some point, which were used to hold packages of stacked ammunition. The underside of the flap still has the original maker stamping, which displays a 17 date. The cross belt is intact, not ripped or broken, and still supple to some degree. It does show scaling to the finish, and looks to have seen more service than the holster did.

A perfect accompaniment to a French Mle 1892 Revolver!
