Hello

What are your thoughts on this holster?

It looks similar to a OSS holster,but I think the holster dates much later.

It is marked Kayanes.

I could not find much about the maker of the holster

Ink stamp of $3.75

Thank you

Tony

Hello Tony:

 

Your holster is not USGI. It is a commercial private purchase item.

 

It appears to be designed for a 4 inch barreled revolver, although it is hard to gauge dimensions from photos alone. It is missing its chest strap.

 

The maker was Kayanes Leather Craft, Inc. It was a small and rather obscure maker of leather goods located in Ohio during the 1950s. I am not aware of any products supplied by Kayanes to the US government.

 

I hope that information is helpful to you.

 

Regards,

Charlie
