Rare 1943 Craighead S&W Victory Revolver Holster

Description

10/15/24 - In very good condition, we have a rare and seldom seen US WW2 issued half-flap holster for the Smith & Wesson Victory model .38 caliber revolvers. This holster was only made by Craighead during 1943 and they are rare. After the war, the holster was produced in larger numbers by Rock Island Arsenal and it was widely carried through Vietnam. WW2-made examples are scarce and highly sought after by collectors. The leather on this holster remains pliable, and all the stitching is intact. There is a minor area of abrasion wear near the toe as well as some cracking in the surface leather. This cracking does not go through and does not impact the function or integrity of the holster.
