A24cm long x 16cm wide at the top, brown leather holster. Leather remains strong. Shows typical usage and wear. Note: Estonia purchased 120 F.N. Hi-Power pistols in 1936 for it's police, and another 5,338 in 1937 for it's military. All were ordered without shoulder stocks and holsters. The Tallinn State Arsenal made 3,150 shoulder stocks and only 500 holsters. These 500 holsters were converted from F.N. Model 1903 9mm Browning Long pistol holsters. The holsters were patterned after the Belgian military F.N. Hi-Power holster adopted in 1935/1936 for troops who were issued shoulder stocks. This configuration was quickly abandoned and the holsters were converted to standard belt use by separating them from their shoulder stocks and adding a flap closure strap & belt loop. These holsters were captured and used by the Germans after they invaded Estonia in the summer of 1941. The holes for the shoulder stock mounting rivets are still present on the rear of the holster. Information on these holsters can be found in 'F.N. Browning Pistols: Sidearms That Shaped World History, 3rd Edition' by Anthony Vanderlinden (Vol. I: Pages 350-351/400/406 & Vol. II: Page 715).
