Dating a NAGANT M1895 Holster?
I've decided to pick-up a Nagant Model 1895 pistol that was made in 1920 (during the Russian
Civil War from what I'm reading) I would like to try and find an ERA correct holster for this. But looking around I have not found a source that can provide deatils or pictures of the holster design for that period.
Does anyone know where I can obtain this information?
Thank you,
Bill

I believe that the holsters of that period would have been leather and look similar in style to those man made crap post WWII holsters.
You can go with either the belt loop style or the shoulder strap style. I prefer the shoulder strap style and have one myself.
An original leather holster will be nearly impossible to find. They do make nice repros and they are reasonable.

Yup, found some nice Repo's at worldwarsupply.com But I just found out that the Nagant I bought comes with a holster and ammo, so it will be interesting to see what I get. I'll have it next week.

Nice, especially if it's a leather holster. You may have stole it. I'm kind of going gun crazy at the moment. Might drive up to Cabelas later today. Thought about a long drive across the river into the yellow zone but decided against. Gun shows need to start up again soon. I've been limited to ebay for three months now. My most recent arrival was a WWI US horse brush. Kind of neat but not real exciting. Then the cavalry holster two days ago. I have a feed bag on the way somewhere. I've kind of decided to make WWI US cavalry an area of interest.

I've been going through Proxibid lately and finding things off OFFER-UP mostly. The opened the swap/meet yesterday so I might wander over there.
