Tony Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hello,The holster below looks British to me but after searching for photos of Webley and Enfield holsters I'm no longer sure, what do you think?It's brown and is marked 14, below that is 38-4 and under that it's stamped medium. Could it be Belgian?ThanksTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike McLellan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'm no expert, but the markings and the appearance seem to suggest: It was made for a Smith & Wesson, Model 14, 38 Special, 4 inch barrel. If so, it is post 1957, and any military connection is purely incidental. HOWEVER, I've been wrong so many, many times in my long life, that I recommend that you pursue your inquiries beyond my 2 cents worth! The maker is anybody's guess.

Chris Boonzaier Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 So possibly something North American?What did the Canadian Mounties carry back then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Mike,Thanks mate, just had a quick squiz online it and you could be correct, and what with Chris' RCMP thought I found this http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-hand-ejectors-1896-1961/324959-1916-455-mkii-2nd-unmolested-picture-heavy.htmlNot an exact match but very close although the link is all about the gun rather than the holster.Some similar ones here too http://gmic.co.uk/forums/topic/42038-royal-canadian-mounted-police-badges-and-uniforms/?page=7I think it's safe to say it's S&W but I'll have to keep on searching for an exact match.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I believe it's the wrong colour to be RCMP, as their belts and equipment were brown leather and this looks black to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Peter, it looks black in the photos but it is indeed brown.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
