    wwi m1916 Holster

    I was given this holster from my great aunts estate. Sadly no 1911 in it but rather a Colt lighning from 1888. Go figure!

    Anyway, I was trying to ID the manufacture but can find only a M.S. stamped on the back. I assume this is the inspector initials but they are very low on the back, not up further between the belt slips like I have seen. Anyone know how to ID the manufacture when the stamping is worn away? See pics

    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.

    Too bad the belt hooks are cut off, the use of a pants belt is what's done this. You can oil a bit with any of the leather oils on the area and it might bring it up as a shadow...

    Why not bring out the Lightning to show us. there's a forum for that too? Could be on the member's showcase... https://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=35

    Or the Off Topic section... https://www.milsurps.com/forumdisplay.php?f=40
