Description
US WWI Leather Revolver Holster — Textan 1942 Marked
A wartime-production US leather revolver holster manufactured by Textan in 1942, designed to house standard-issue American service revolvers such as the Colt M1917 and Smith & Wesson M1917 .45 ACP models. Produced at a time when U.S. industry was fully mobilized for World War II, Textan’s leather gear is known for its sturdy materials, functional design, and direct association with frontline and stateside service alike.
This example shows excellent provenance, retaining its clear “Textan 1942” maker and date stamp, confirming its manufacture during a critical early-war production period. The leather remains supple and pliable, showing only normal wear from age and handling—evidence of honest service rather than deterioration. Stitching, contours, and form remain strong, preserving the holster’s utility as well as its historical value.
A solid, authentic piece of WWII U.S. military equipment, ideal for collectors of wartime leather gear, service revolvers, or historically documented field equipment.
