Original Japanese WWII Type 14 Nambu Pistol Leather Holster with Shoulder Strap - dated 1939
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice original WWII Issue holster for the Japanese Nambu type 14 semi automatic pistol. It is constructed of thick leather leather with a hard shell lid which covers the pistol's grip as well as the spare ammunition compartment and firing pin pouch. There is also a flap cover the ammunition compartment, which is intact, and a loop inside to hold the combination cleaning rod take down tool. The rear of the holster has a belt loop, as well as two loops for a shoulder strap, which is still attached! We very rarely see these with an intact shoulder strap, or even a portion of one!
These holsters were originally marked inside the lid, and this example still has the original Japanese kanji markings! The top row definitely a date: 四 十 昭. This marking is written right to left, and would be read: SHOWA (current reigning emperor) Juu-Yon Nen (14th year of reign - 1939). Under this looks to be an arsenal or maker marking. There is also a paper label with the number 42938 on it, possibly the serial number of the pistol it was issued with.
The holster and strap are in good used condition, showing age and wear, but still in great shape. A great example, complete with tools and dated 1939!
