WW1 French M1909 Pistol Holster

A brown leather pistol holster for the 1892 Model revolver as carried by officers on their leather belt equipment.
This example has survived in excellent condition with rear belt loop , buckle tabs & brass fastening stud & catch intact. The three loops visible upon lifting of the flap are a modification introduced as of 1909 for holding three cartons of revolver ammunition , these were often altered by the individual according to preference. To the underside of the flap are the inspection markings with a partial date of just the '6' being visible this most likely relating to 1916. After WW1 a variety of different updated versions of the issue holster were devised.
