Japanese holster

(1/2) > >>

vlim:
This holster is on its way to me, I stumbled across it on a local advertising site, where it was misidentified.

I have to check which pistol fits best, M1914 or M1934 or possibly an M1910, but the holster itself looks like its in good shape, and most probably of Japanese origin.

Any thoughts?

Warbird:
It certainly looks the right age but what makes you think it is Japanese.  I wouldn't know ... just curious.  Also looking forward to your fit analysis.

1914mauser:
I agree that it looks Japanese. It does not have the rings on the back that I would expect to see. Waiting to hear what it fits.
Regards,

I concur that it appears to be a Japanese style.  Normally see rings as Burgess mentioned.  I can see the imprint of what could be a Japanese Type 94 in  the backside leather.  I believe the Japanese Officers had to purchase there own pistols so perhaps a custom holster is not out of line.  I suspect Type 94, Browning 1910, Mauser 7.65 1-14/34, or perhaps even a Colt .32 auto could all fit.....the question is which one was carried in this holster the first time it was used!  Let us know.  Nice find!

vlim:
Well, the hoster arrived, it definitely has age to it, and after a fitting test, using a Mauser 1910/34, a Mauser 1914 and a Mauser 1934, I can conclude that all fit very well in this holster.

As discussed above, these holsters were used to carry just about any pocket pistol that would fit it.

Attached some photos of the fitting session.
