Description
6/23/22 – This is an original m1911 pistol holster by William H McMonies Co. In May of 1918, they received a contract for 25,000 M1916 holsters from the US Government. They also produced scabbards and rifle slings. Given the small size of the contract, these are of the rarest M1916 holsters to find today. This example is in great condition with very nice leather and stitching throughout. No notable stitching flaws and no major issues with the leather. Normal pliability and typical signs of aging and previous use. The back leather is maker stamped “W.H. McM Co.” with initials “W G” underneath. The front leather has inspector initials “C.E.B.”.
