Looking for a holster (US M-3)

[Shorty Jenkins]

I'm looking for a well used M-3 US shoulder holster. Prefer brown and don't care if the shoulder strap is broken. I'm a big guy and will need to have it replaced anyway. If you have an old one that you no longer use then......I'm your huckleberry. Could also use a web/canvas, US double mag pouch for .45 acp mags. I want them for a vintage P-38 for that wartime GI look.

Let me know what you have and how much you need, shipped to Ohio.

Many thanks in advance,
Shorty

I have a well used WWII holster I got from a WWII vet some 30 years ago.
I don't think the strap is broken.
I used to carry my Ithaca 1911 in it.
I may also have a WWI 2 mag pouch that is in excellent condition. I forget the makers of either but if interested I will look.
PM me with offer price.

Enger-Kress is the WWII M-3 shoulder holster, Mills 1919 is the 2 mag web pouch.
Thank you for your offer.
I don't think you will find reproductions tat cheap, good luck in your search.

Ron,

Thanks for your reply. Hope I didn't offend with my offer. Be glad to hear a counter offer if you have something in mind.
Yours still sound like just what I would like.

A second recommendation for Pacific Canvas and Leather. I have a M3 for both rev and 1911. They carry the mag pouches as well. I'm a big guy and it will fit me without needing an extension (58" chest). You will have to search a long time to find a better price also.

Thanks NVSeabee!

I'm a 58" also, so this sounds good to me. I have already checked them out, but your info (sizing) really sealed the deal. Many, many thanks. I'll get an order on the way Monday.

Guessing by your handle, NVSeabee.............thanks too for your service.
