Maker marked “R.W. Stiby” and clearly dated 1918, these leather holsters were used during WW1 to house service pistols, mainly revolvers. Made out of a high quality leather, they were designed to be durable, and to be able to withstand the strains of war. This example does have some minor cracking on the leather, but the location of the cracking is VERY typical of these kinds of holsters as it’s at a high stress point and considering it’s well over 100 years old, it’s in pretty good shape! There are some scuffs here and there on the leather, but the markings on the back are very clear and the metal (likely brass) fastenings are present and secure. All stitching is good without damage.
