Interesting WWI Holster...
...now on e-Bay.
This holster is very similar to mine of the same maker...but this one appears to have a magazine pouch to carry two units, stacked side by side...interesting... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...259402677&rd=1 Regards, Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" /> |

Pete, I saw that and he states that? Is this true, or did someone stretch it out???

You couldn't wet-form and stretch a single magazine pouch enough to accommodate two magazines even when the leather was new. It was made/modified to hold two magazines. Really an odd duck.

From looking a the photo's it is a very large pouch. Ron is right this was not stretched and was probably added after initial manufacture. I question if it will actually hold two mags. The bottoms would force them apart wider than the mag pouch appears to be. On a regular pouch there is a half round slot on either side to accomodate for this extra width. I would have to see it to believe it. Jerry Burney
