molding a holster to fit a 1911

I googled Cathay Ent and learned that black holsters of this sort appeared in 1955, when the color was changed from brown. If this is true, I'm not sure it is period correct, because the 1911 is original configuration, including the narrow spline front sight. I don't know if the front sight was ever changed by the military.

Forgive me if I take Jerry's comment as a compliment!

But no one has noticed the white holster? I'm curious as to what's up with that.
