Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very rare totally original WWI &WWII  Model 1916 holster for the .45 auto. This holster is maker marked CLINTON, for Clinton Saddlery of Clinton, Iowa. This holster was made in 1918 and inspected by F.W.T.. Clinton made many of these holsters for WWI only, and the date along with the brass belt clip indicates this is definitely a WWI &WWII holster over 100 years in age.
This M1916 holster in very good condition, with a deep russet brown color to the leather, with no major damage, and just wear and marks from age. All stitches still intact, with all brass parts still present, though there is some verdigris buildup around the rivets and hanger.
Just perfect for a WWI &WWII issue 1911 .45 pistol!
