Holster were drawn from the clothing depots, not issued with the pistol. So during WW2, you were as likely to be issued a well used WW1 holster, as a new production one, probably made some time before your pistol, or it could be a rework of captured foreign holsters made by forced labor. I have personally owned reworked French, German & Russian revolver holsters, reworked for everything from pocket pistols to FNHPs and lugers. Once in the field, particularily late in the war, the basic rule seems to be "anything that fits". TH
