Thanks, It's history would not be documented, so I'll use my imagination. It is in a holster marked "Sears".
Colt No.266266 was shipped April 10, 1918 to Springfield Armory.
The Model 1911 Colts were built under contract, and the contract only called for the pistol and one magazine. The holsters and magazine pockets were purchased from various other contractors by the military.
