Flap Holster ID

**vintage hunter** · 03-24-2013 11:27 AM

Can anyone shedder some light on this holster? It looks like the average 1911 flap holster more or less but doesn't come close to accepting one but a High Power fits like a glove. Is it military issue or a repro?

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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The holster is a mid 1960"s vintage made by Bucheimer Leather Co, made for the 1911A1 .45cal, mainly used in Vietnam. Not 100% sure, but could be a M1916 version.

Like he says, looks like a standard Bucheimer...they didn't have the best reputation for fit sometimes. It's also very new. The .45 would shoehorn in and fit after some break in.

This is a very old Model 1911 holster, can be used as a shoulder holster or used on your hip, there is a pouch for an extra clip too. It is a well made holster but unmarked - might be WW1 or post WW1 time period ?Attachment 41735
