Russian Colt 1911 holster

As frugal as the Russians were, I would assume the T33 Tokarev holster. If it fit, I doubt if they would bother re-engineering it.

Would be a little difficult using said in WWI and the following years of turmoil. 50,000 pistols shipped. Most still unaccounted for. The real question is whether they're still warehoused...

Seems indeed to be losted in the turmoil.
Losted but not for everyone I suppose...
All of them have holster wear marking so I suppose they were into holster.
I'll try the T-33 holster.
The British Colt .455 was into specific holster made in UK ( different holsters exist)
Perhaps the Russian also made a holster for the pistol.

All? You've seen more than one? Very scarce on the other side of the Atlantic.

This one was in the contract range of Russian pistols but did not go overseas. Oddly, these unmarked pistols have been known to be "enhanced" to look like one of the pistols sent to support the WWI Russian efforts to enhance collector appeal.



Regardless, it would be interesting to know if there WAS an official Russian or Soviet holster that was specific to the 1911s. Info on Russian and/or Soviet produced .45 ACP ammo (if any) would be welcomed as well!
