This holster is sitting in the cast off bin at a local gunshop. No markings at all. It looks like a Radom pattern, but I could use more educated opinions.
Thanks!

Looks like a Star A or B holster and it's probably unmarked.

Thanks, Steve! Do you have an approximate value?

It's close to the Star holster, but...

Not quite the same.

The pouch is clearly for a thin, single stack magazine like a p38. Any other ideas?

Looking closely it doesn't seem to be an issued holster.

So, it could have been made for any single stack auto with 1911ish format, from a Spanish clone/copy to the Radom you mentioned with the TT33 right smack in the middle. Take your pick.

what's the back side look like ?

This is my generic holster.
The gun shop said it was from Hungary.
It was $3 with the cleaning rod.
Fits my mixed parts Chinese Tokarev (Vietnam bring back 1969)

Doug, it is not familiar to me, but looks like a European or South American type police holster, and as Kurusu has mentioned for any single stack mag pistol. I would think since it does look used, and not new, that if you look inside, you may see the profile of the pistol that occupied it.

maybe a commercial holster for Browning FN 1922 ? Looks too small for an Browning P-35 HP. Maybe a Glisenti? or something with an exposed barrel? Too plain for a Nambu...

* Looks like a Norwegian M1914 Colt '45 would maybe fit?
* Does the inside flap above the mag pouch show an imprint of the loop on the bottom of this single stack magazine?
* Some of these style holsters had 3 crowns either on the outside or inside of the flap. But, some were not marked complicating the positive identity.
* Looks like top grade leather. If the price is right & a M1911(A1) fits, it would make a nice companion IMHO.

Thanks, Bob. Fortunately, I'm over on the sane, conservative West Coast of Florida, where most of these storms are a distant memory!
