Hi,

I think this is a totally bogus holster. It is dated 1940, but has all the characteristics of a WWI holster. A person would have to examine this one mighty closely. You could make the argument that is was reworked for the commercial market from left overs and ect., but that just doesn seem to fly to me. The D-ring is unique. The shape just doesn't look exactly right. The stitching doesn't look normal to me. Having a date on it is unusual. It is not a police holster as there is not police inspection stamps. I would think that in 1940 the pattern would have been of the WWII's, like Patrick stated. I don't think this one is correct at all.
