Rare genuine WWII US theater-made brown leather holster, intended for the M1911A1 Colt pistol or some revolver, featuring a leather belt loop.
This open-top sheath, largely based on the standard issue M3 and M7 shoulder holsters, features a securing strap fitted with a Lift-the-Dot fastener (in working order), as well as a braided leather lace.
The front has been adorned with five stars roughly cut out from a piece of leather, along with a total of thirteen nails likely taken from some captured German officers' shoulder boards.
Initials JH have been discretely stamped on the lower part.
A great artifact in quite good, used condition.
