Original WWI / WWII British Officer Private Purchase Leather Service Revolver Holster - Belt Loop Variant

An original British Military Officer's pattern leather service revolver holster, dating from the Great War through the WWII era.

This piece is a classic "Private Purchase" commercial variant, purchased by an officer from a high-street military outfitter or field saddler.

Unlike standard government-issued gear, this streamlined design features a clean, heavy-stitched tunnel belt loop on the reverse side with no extra brass hooks or shoulder brace tabs—allowing it to slide freely and comfortably onto any standard wide leather uniform belt or Sam Browne rig.

It is designed to house large-frame British service revolvers of the era, most notably the iconic .455 Webley Mk VI (as well as similar large-frame top-break service revolvers).

Structurally sound and firm with an exceptionally rich, deep brown field-used patina.

Features honest surface crazing, light scuffs, and age-related wear as expected from a genuine combat-era artefact, but absolutely no dry rot.

Unmarked/unsigned, which is textbook and standard for commercial private-purchase field gear of this type.
