Title Webley Mk VI holster, dated 1917
Nationality British
Period 1917
Sold

This leather holster is double stamped with the maker's mark 'T.THOMASSON & CO / 1917'. Dated examples are now getting harder to find. This is the classic holster carried by officers, NCOs and machine gun crews in the Great War by British and Commonwealth troops, specifically designed for the Mark VI Webley revolver (.455 calibre).

It is in excellent shape, except for some minor moth scarring on the face of the flap and on the body. The stitching is in good shape throughout and there is no appreciable shrinkage.

testimonials

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
