Verenigde Staten van Amerika - Nice US WW2 M-3 Tanker Holster - Airborne - Infantry - Enger-Kress - beautiful brown color - Militaire uitrusting - 1943
Great leather shoulder holster for the Colt M1911 .45 pistol from WW2 marked Enger Kress and 1943, i.e. made in 1943. This was a famous maker of these holsters during WW2. Adopted in 1942, this holster was standard issue for aircraft and tank crews, and was often used by officers who preferred it to the hip holster. In combat areas, all sorts of troops found ways to "acquire" handguns and the regulations as to who was and wasn't permitted to carry them were rarely enforced. It has a repair on the strap and it looks like a US insignia badge was once placed on the holster, but now gone, but otherwise in very nice condition. The holster has a beautiful patina and has a nice brown color. This would look great on a mannequin. All press studs are fully functional, and these are often broken! Finally, the holster is nicely named to the soldier / officer on the back (''ROOT'').
Original M3's were made in plain, "natural" leather, as they age they darken through exposure to oil, dirt, and sweat that turns holsters a russet brown color. It is embossed on the front U.S. meaning it was military issues (not civilian).
Great item for your USA WW2 collection!
