WW2 US Army Leather Holster

This WW2 US Army Leather Holster is an original piece of military equipment used by American forces during the Second World War. Constructed from high-quality brown leather, it was designed to securely carry sidearms such as the M1911 pistol, which was standard issue for US military personnel. The holster features a flap closure with a brass stud, belt loop attachment on the reverse, and embossed US markings on the front, in accordance with period specifications. Stitching is robust and typical of wartime production, offering durability in field conditions. Holsters of this type were issued to troops in various branches, including infantry, paratroopers, and support personnel. The design allowed for secure storage and quick access to the sidearm when needed. This artifact reflects common patterns of US Army personal gear from the era and is indicative of the equipment carried by service members throughout European and Pacific campaigns.
