Many years ago, probably close to 40, an advanced collector brought an authentic Rock Island Arsenal US Test Trials holster to Bob McNellis of El Paso Saddlery to be re-stitched. While it was there Bob asked for permission to make a pattern from the original.. Permission was granted and since that time EPS has made the most authentic reproduction Test holster available. There are some very minior differences so that the repro can't be passed off as an original.
