dave307 Posted September 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2020 I’m asking for help with this. There are some very unusual characteristics with this holster. The us stamp is on the back side . It has a snap to keep the flap open. This also has a smaller than usual brass swivel . It also has no belt attachment. This is in mint condition. Any thoughts about this would be greatly appreciated.

Ronald Posted September 28, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2020 It appears the some works has been done on it to make it appear like a cav holster. My opinion (for what it is worth) thinks the plain flap was added after the US flap was cut down and the belt portion was added. I don't believe it to be a mistake or rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin6 Posted October 3, 2020 Share #4 Posted October 3, 2020 For what it's worth, I agree with your assessment. Looks like the original flap was used to attach the swivel part and a new flap put on. It appears to have been to allow it to go on a narrow belt and to hang down farther than a regular holster. As to when and where it was done, that's a good question that I don't think will ever be answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backtheattack Posted October 11, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 11, 2020 because of the difference in color I think a second one was added for a cavalry-style holster and the original sewed again. Looks great. Time is unknown, but I have seen cavalry style holsters in different museums in Normandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
