Actually WadeN, I learn every day, I answer by absorption from these guys, reading books and spitting out answers, and of course listening to friends like Ron.
Ask away, if you ask too many questions (and you probably won't), we'll just tell you
Seriously, the holster sounds like a WW2 holster? Does it have a "tie down" from the right towards the top to hold the holster top down? Or does it have an almost straight up and down tie down? (the 2nd is the actual type issued to police as a police rig), after the war, many guns were picked up out of bins and that is why so many holsters and pistols are not matched, (specifically talking about police vs army).
In the real world, a 1914 that fought in two wars might be "matched" with a 1942 holster, from supply, you were issued what was needed and not as we like to match up today.
