This WW2 British 1937 Pattern Webley Pistol Holster is a reproduction of the standard issue canvas holster used by British troops for the large frame Webley Mk VI .455 revolver. Made of heavy-duty cotton webbing and fitted with brass hooks and a snap fastener, this holster was designed to attach securely to the 1937 webbing equipment set.
It is sized for the Webley Mk VI .455, but also fits other revolvers of similar dimensions. Perfect for re-enactors completing a British webbing set, or for collectors and museums.
