Re: We are violently agreeing!
BCC,
From the accounts I have read about, the pistols and spare magazines were shipped from the factory together. The holsters were shipped from the factory and put into stock and issued on the FIFO basis, so many times the years could be way off from the pistol. At the issue points, they just pulled a holster from the bins and issued them with no regard to the stamps.
I have also read that some of the earlier Mint holsters were the ones left in the bins at the end of the war and "confiscated" by the forces.
