Most Correct Holster for 1934 Enfield No2 MkI Revolver

Took some quick pics of markings. Numbers seem to match except on rear which I am guessing is some sort of unit number. Dark black finish made numbers hard to show. Someone I guess wanted to see the crown better and scratched the finish off.

That's a nice example covered in suncorite. Other's may be able to ascertain the markings. A nice khaki holster can be found on Ebay, Gun Broker or just about any gun show. Beware of fakes or reproductions. You should be able to find a nice WW2 P-37 for under $40. I just scored a nice Air Ministry 1940 RAF holster and ammo pouch for $27. They are out their just have to look in the right places.

Thank You. IMA has the blue RAF Holsters for right around $27. They say they are original, but I don't believe that would be the correct holster for mine.

Canadian made by ZL&T seem to be the most commonly available P37 bolsters on eBay these days. I've got a few of them. Unlike every other piece of P37 web gear I've ever seen they don't appear to be made of pre-shrunk canvas though. In new condition they'll fit a 6" barrelled Webley. But I put one through the washing machine, and the overall length shrunk about an inch, making it fit my Enfields better.

I don't have an authentic tanker holster (yet). But I did have a flap holster with badly torn flap that I disassembled, recut and reversed, then sewed back together as a left handed tanker style.

What are the blades in that rig? I like that setup.

The kukri is from thekhukurihouse.com. The original water buffalo hide split from the cutting edge of the blade sliding between the two slabs of wood of the sheath, so I removed the leather and added the canvas covering. The knife is a Russel #4 survival knife by Grohmans that my folks gave me almost 40 years ago.

All of the canvas has been "blanco'd" using Tarrago shoe cream mixed to Blanco shade 103 light khaki green. Looks nice, easy to apply and remove, and adds a measure of waterproofing.

Would the correct holster not have been a 28 pttn holster until the 37 pttn became mainstream?

We had as m,any variations of webbing holsters as we had of webbing bayonet frogs. There were loads of never ending different variants until we got the 44 and 58 patterns.

The OP was asking what the correct holster would have been in WW2 though.

He asked "What would be the issue holster for a 1934 Enfield No2 MkI Revolver in .38-200 and what would be the most likely used holster in WWII for the same revolver".

I assume this to be 'what would it have been issued with' AND 'what would be the most likely in WW2'

So I would think, '25 pttn until the '37 pttn became mainstream. I believe the RAF used '25 pttn for many years after the intro of '37 and well into WW2.
