Great leather shoulder holster for the Colt M1911 .45 pistol from WW2 marked US and Engker Kress. This was a famous maker of these holsters during WW2. Adopted in 1942, this holster was standard issue for aircraft and tank crews, and was often used by officers who preferred it to the hip holster. In combat areas, all sorts of troops found ways to "acquire" handguns and the regulations as to who was and wasn't permitted to carry them were rarely enforced. Clearly used in the field, but all the snaps still work, which is rare! It was dyed black at some stage of its life, you can still see the brown underneath. This would look great on a mannequin. It is embossed on the front U.S. meaning it was military issues (not civilian).rrGreat item for your USA WW2 collection! r
