Original M-1916 Holsters for M-1911 .45 Pistol – Dated 1944

Description

Original M-1916 holsters for the M-1911 and M1911A1 .45 pistol from WW II.  This holster is NOT a reproduction.  These are original M-1916 holsters still packed in the original sealed packaging.  The holsters are dated 1944 and were manufactured by The Boyt Harness Company.  These holsters are beyond being in mint condition.  This is basically a time capsule.  The holsters are in absolutely perfect condition and include the leather lanyard leg ties.  The leather is very pliable and in excellent condition.  There is some tarnishing of the brass rivets, which is to be expected on holsters that are over 76 years old.  You won’t find another holster of this vintage still packaged in the original packaging as delivered to the War Department.  This is a very rare opportunity to own an original piece of history in absolutely original condition.  A copy of the original packing slip from Boyd Harness Company, dated 12-20-1944, is included.
A shipment of 50 of these holsters was found by a friend of mine in a barn in Wyoming.
13 holsters are still available.
