A little history on the center holster. I purchased the holster almost 40 years ago
at a Hoopston, Illinois Gun Show for the grand total of $7. The holster is finished
in a light Desert(sand) finish over Brown leather. Color shifted as Ted had to take
Photos of Photos I sent to him. The finish is very supple similar to that of the
finish on a women's fine dress shoe. Finish gives with pressure, shows wear marks
on back where rubbed against hips and belt loops. Was either for possibly special
police unit or finished for use by Police in Afika Corps, anyhow different and I
don't believe faked because of price and when purchased. It would have taken a person
quite a while to have professionaly done the refinish job. |
