Sorry Ed, I don't mean to be contentious about this article. I was seriously considering puting in a bid before the price got out of my limited mental range. I felt that finding an original stock cup and all straps overcame the fact that an original 1917 artillery holster is pretty easily found, if you search hard enough. I won't go into the magazine pouch other than to say that the color doesn't match because I am not that smart. Navy holsters are another one of those thingies that I rarely comment on because of my 'Mad Cow' disease. As hard as I try, I'm just not a Jerry Burney. But $4400 for something that I couldn't physically examine...thats a lot.
