Hello alls

I need your advice about this civil holster for a 4 3/4 barrel

There's a button snap for the loadind tool stamped:
J.H.H .star. C.S.star. in cercle
And the top seems like found on double magazine pouch from Netherlands

Somebody must reduce the pics I think for the post
Thanks for yours opinions :bigbye:

A beautiful example and seems correct in every way...I just had another commercial in here for a small repair and it had the same pointed top flap on the tool pouch.
What advice are you wanting exactly?

Patrice, like Jerry says, it's a great commercial holster. I also might point out that it is not pebble grained but rather seems to be pig skin which makes it even more desireable. A valuable holster.

George is absolutely correct, I forgot to mention it. I would say it is in the $700-$900 catagory. It has the cleaning rod sleeve attached close to the magazine pouch but no provision for the pin punch next to the interior tool pouch like I have seen on many others. The hinge is particulary pristine, the whole holster is in amazing condition. A real find. Notice the leather covered buckle....Do you have an opportunity to purchase this holster? Jerry Burney

That is easily one of the most stunning holsters I have seen in quite a while, a real treasure and outstanding collector's piece. I hope you can acquire it Patrice, it deserves a good home.

Hi,

Nice one. Are there any stampings on one or either rings of the pushbutton assembly?

Yes on the snap button there's stamped only five letters .J.H.H. and .C.S.

Hi,

Thanks. These markings have been reported before on other 'commercial' equipment.

I believe they point towards a button factory in former Czecho-Slowakia (hence the C.S.).

Reported:
JHH * CS * (pre-1918)

RG (ca 1918-1925?)

KM (ca 1930-1940?)

A possible button-producer may be Josef Haase from Peterswald, in a disputed CS/German area.

Hi,
Thanks to you it is this one : pre-1918

And now this holster is at home :cheers:
