Holster, War Booty, Bastogne, January 1st, 1945
Rare genuine WWII leather shoulder holster, intended for a semi-automatic pistol and captured by a GI on some German during the Battle of the Bulge.
Although the general shape is quite reminiscent of the M3 holster, the present artifact features a separate case designed to accomodate a spare magazine. The following markings have been handwritten on the rear: R.F. Clark 34868692 264 F.A. Bn.
The original note which comes along with this holster indicates that it used to carry a Russian TT-30 pistol (caliber 7.62mm), taken from a German on New Year's Day 1945 near Bastogne, Belgium by Sergeant Robert F. Clark du 264th Field Artillery Battalion.
Complete and in good, used condition.
