??Cut down Artillery holsters

Rick, all the cut down artillerys I have seen were WW1 era; I do not believe that any of them were made for WW2.

A lot of police holsters came from WW1 era holsters and were converted and a lot of those converted were originally artillerys. i am sure there were a lot of artillery's converted to army also, but that is not what i collect, so can't say for sure.

In nice shape, they go for at least $185, if not more. I don't mind them converted, but would pay less for a conversion than an original holster.
