Navy holster opinions

Norme · 11-17-2012, 08:38 AM

Hi Jens, Welcome to the forum! All Imperial Navy equipment is rare and desirable. Both your holster and pouch are what collectors call Type 2, designed to be belt worn and introduced late in the war for Naval Marines fighting in Flanders. Both the holster and pouch were brown originally, but were dyed black, probably late in 1916. Unfortunately, the holster is missing the tool pouch and the lid for the cleaning rod sheath. May we see a close-up of the maker's mark on the pouch and a photo of the cleaning rod? Regards, Norm
