The accessory pouch and cleaning rod arrived! The pouch is as I had guessed. It has been cut down from a holster identical to mine. The belt loops are slits in the leather and the right loop still bears the stitch marks where the magazine and rod pouches were sewn to the rest of the holster. However, the rod is the real story. It is in great condition and right as rain. I am one happy camper! My heartfelt thanks to Tom. I now have a 1908 Bulgarian rig to knock your socks off! I still need to restore the stitching on the holster, clean it up and block it back out to original configuration. But Wow, how lucky can you get!!
