This early-war U.S. WWII pistol holster is stamped "U.S." on the flap and "Boyt -40" on the reverse, with an unusual non-regulation brass stud replacing the factory closure hardware. This may indicate a field repair or supply depot modification. The leather shows a warm, broken-in patina, with age darkening and light surface wear throughout. Stitching remains firm, and the belt loop is unmodified.
Boyt's 1940 holsters are among the earliest full-production runs for WWII contracts-issued to U.S. Army and Marine Corps personnel prior to America's full-scale entry into the war. This example may have seen duty in pre-1942 deployments or early Pacific campaigns. The custom brass stud suggests soldier-level adaptation, a common practice in field conditions.
