No makers marks visable, or date, hooks look brass has WW2 laundry number inside so must have been used in WW2 unless they used same system in WW1?

Hello Garandy:

 

I suspect that your revolver is not USGI but rather a private purchase item.  I say that based upon the unusually large belt slots, the absence of any maker markings, and the stitching pattern that appears to be somewhat non-conforming to the standard M1916 pattern.

 

Regards,

Charlie

Yes, sorry, I meant to say Holster when I wrote revolver.  Duh. 

 

The fact that the holster is marked US on the flap is of no consequence in determining who made it.  Many of the private purchase M1916 holsters are so marked, as are many of the modern reproductions/replicas that are flooding Ebay today.
