Lot 347:
Mauser C96 Bolo Leather Shoulder Holster with Integrated Ammunition Pouches and Harness
Sold for: $65
Description
A vintage leather shoulder holster specifically designed for the Mauser C96 Bolo pistol variant. The holster is constructed from medium-brown leather featuring white contrast stitching throughout. The design includes a main pistol compartment and two integrated rectangular front pouches with flaps, designed to accommodate spare ammunition stripper clips. The pocket flaps are secured by four silver-toned metal snaps. The integrated shoulder harness is made of thin brown leather straps with adjustable metal buckles, attached to the rear of the holster via metal rings and studs. The reverse side of the holster is stamped with the text Bolo in clear, legible block letters. This holster lacks official military proof marks, indicating it was likely a commercial or private purchase accessory.
Condition report:
The holster is in very good condition with the leather remaining supple and retaining a consistent medium-brown color. Minor surface scuffs and light handling wear are present, consistent with age and use. The contrast stitching is intact and appears original. The metal hardware, including the snaps and harness buckles, is fully functional and shows only very light surface oxidation.
