Navy Repro Holster...

Hi Tom,

I was not the "winner"...as I stopped at $ 95.

To get the smell, you will need to get one of those new USB-interfaced scratch & sniff devices for your PC...

...kidding of course.

The stitching on this piece looked awfully white...I have not seen many brown type II's, but I recall their stitching to be reddish stained (not via shoe polish...) or dark brown thread...

p.s. If this one is truly an "un-issued" WWI holster (I am sceptical...), maybe from being in storage it would not pick up the tobacco smoke smells and diesel boat grease smells...that you mentioned in Chattanooga.

Here are the e-Bay photos :

Regards,
