p2tharizo Posted January 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2014 This appears to be a shoulder holster, or maybe for a Sam Browne type set up? The attaching points seem too small for a belt, so I'm not sure what or how it was carried. No markings of any kind. Any ideas are appreciated.

Charlie Flick Posted January 2, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2014 Hello: Your holster is not USGI. It is a commercial holster from the 1920-1940 time frame. It is designed for a revolver. Can't say which one since I can't examine it personally or get much scale from the pics. However, It is probably for a S&W 4 or 5 inch barreled, .38 Special, 6-shot Military & Police model (Model of 1905 Fourth Change) or a Colt Official Police in the same barrel length and caliber. It is right handed and is missing the shoulder strap that would have fit across the chest. I can't tell if the odd loop just above the bullet loops is intended for a belt. Many different companies made holsters similar to this design so without markings it is going to be very tough to ID the maker. Hope that helps you. Regards, Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted January 2, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2014 I agee with Charlie.Civilian or police use as they had Sam Brown style belts as well that used a over/off the shoulder strap to suspend the holsters.Lot of the old motor cycle cops used this set up as well.
