  • Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very rare totally original M1916 holster, made by Graton & Knight Manufacturing Co. of Worcester, Mass., in very nice condition. It is marked U.S. / GRATON & KNIGHT CO. / 1943 on the back, and embossed U S on the flap, indicating that this was a military issue holster.


    The leather is a nice matured dark brown, the color they take after years of age and service. No major damage to the leather, all stitches still intact, all brass parts still present with a bit of verdigris, and a steel WWII style belt clip. The leather is still supple as well, and it has a leather leg tie down, though it may be a period replacement. Just perfect for a high grade WWII issue 1911 .45 pistol.
