This has always been confusing to me. According to Gortz and Sturgess the stitched lining began in 1918 and the new style holster in the 1920's. I am sure none of this occurred overnight. With the many different holster makers I would say mid 20's or so is close enough. Hopefully Jerry can help with this. How many 1920's military holsters has he seen in his shop and were they the new and/or old style. I am quite sure that 1925 dated military style holsters are rare and a transition form from old to new style. Bill
