Original Item: Only One Available. This is a really good example of a British WW1 Officer’s leather holster intended for use with a .455 caliber Revolver like a Webley Mk.VI, a Colt New Service or a Smith and Wesson. Constructed of thick brown Cow leather, this holster is designed to be worn with the standard Sam Browne waist belt. The rear is marked FINNIGANS LTD / 1916. The House of Finnigans was a British luxury luggage and trunk maker established in 1830, originally in Manchester and later in New Bond Street in London. The House of Finnigans manufactured and produced a wide range of luxury products, including trunks, bags, fashion, jewellery, timepieces, silverware and in this case, leather holsters.
Unlike others we have had, this still retains a stud located inside the belt loop secure the holster in place on the belt. The leather is still soft and most of the stitching is intact, however it is loose, and the revolver could probably use having the stitching repaired, some of which was done some time ago.
