Thorston,

You have a *very* rare holster.

That leather was designed to carry the 4" Navy, of which a very, very few (Estimates are less than 300, IIRC) were procured from the DWM commercial production line. I am fortunate enough to own one of these pistols.

The placement of the straps on the back of the holster indicate that, (According to recognized expert Per Jensen) the holster was intended for U-boat service. There are two variations, one with straps directly sewn and one with straps attaching to D-rings. I have one of the latter versions.

If you decide to part with the holster, I would be exceptionally interested in purchasing it.

Hope this helps,

Tom A.
