    Pic of British Naval leather flaregun holster

    Awhile back, I posted for someone pictures of Britishicon flaregun holsters, leather and webbing types, but could not find a riveted construction Naval leather holster. It has recently risen to the top of the swamp and I was able to take pictures before it vanished. Apparently the Admiralty did not like stiches as they rotted in the sea air or so the story goes. Their handgun and flaregun holsters were all put together with strengthening rivets as shown. The brass flare pistol is an Israeli copy of the standard Briitish design.

    I think it was this site, flare pistols don't seem to fit in anywhere. Getting old. Well if anyone cares, there it is.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
