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 H.G.R. 1916 for Hepburn, Gale and Ross Ltd., manufactured in 1916.
Unlike others we have had, this originally had a stud located inside the belt loop secure the holster in place on the belt. Unfortunately it has since either been removed, or fell off. 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.
