H-180 US WW1 Rare 1916 dated Rock Island Arsenal made M-1916 holster for the Colt 1911 Pistol…..mint!

In excellent condition and very supple, we have a great collector grade Rock Island Arsenal made, 1916 dated first year of production  US WW1 issued M-1916 holster for the Colt 1911 service pistol.  This was the standard issued .45 auto holster of WW1 and in fact probably right through 1942, almost all of the holsters issued and carried were WW1 production dated.  It was not until the war was well underway that the WW2 dated equipage started showing up in the field.
