WW2 US GI 1911 Souvenir Holster
Offered here is a very neat and interesting example of a US 1911 tanker/pilot holster that has been heavily ornamented and personalized by the GI who wore it. This holster was purchased from the estate of a WW2 veteran. It is believed that he wore this holster and personalized it and placed his souvenirs on it. You’ll see that this piece comes with a capture paper for a German pistol, it’s my belief that the veteran captured the pistol but carried it in his USGI supplied holster. Keeping the paper after all these years. Interestingly enough the veteran also made a roadmap to detail in pencil all of the different decorations and names that were carved into the holster. A very very cool piece of WW2 history! This is the type of piece you can place with your 1911 or Luger and it will set off the display!
