Thanks for the info Col. I had a brain fart on what the Navy called those holsters. That Bos'ns Mate looks like he could curse up a storm.
I have seen the picture of TR with his right hand holster, and another picture of an Army Soldier with one too. Just goes to show that what it says in the regulations is not the whole story as far as what men actually used in combat.
That's why I am kind of cynical when someone says something is not historically accurate "because the regulations say...........
Even TR did not always follow the regulations.
Here's one just for you Col!
