M1916 holster - original - date of production 1945?
A kind friend gave me this holster recently and I first thought it was a reproduction, but now I am not sure. The more I look at this, the more I wonder if it's really just new old stock from 1945. It came in the original packaging which is in very poor condition.
Is there any way to tell?
Also, I assume this is an appropriate holster for a 1911 pistol. I am correct? I don't own one now but hope to own a WWII example someday and I think this holster would be perfect!
It's hard to make out the writing on the package, but here are some photos...
