Canadian British Army Sam Browne Holster

The Canadian British Army Sam Browne Holster is a standard-issue leather sidearm holster used by Canadian and British military personnel during the 20th century. Designed to be worn in conjunction with the Sam Browne belt, this holster is constructed from durable leather and often features a flap closure secured by a strap or snap fastener. The holster is designed to accommodate service pistols commonly used during the period, such as the Webley or Enfield revolver.
