Description
11/5/26 - For sale is a WWII U.S. M1916 pattern holster for the Colt M1911 and M1911A1 pistol, made by Boyt and dated 1942. The flap is embossed with the "US" oval, and the back is stamped "BOYT -42-" between the belt slots, with the swivel hooks and tie-down hole at the toe still in place. At some point after the war the holster was dyed black, as was often done to WWII holsters kept in later service, but the original brown leather can still be seen on the back and along the inner edges. The leather is soft and supple with no stitching issues, and there is light surface cracking to the finish where the top flap folds. A solid early-war holster with a later service history.
