Hi PJ

I bought a set up from WPG, not sure its OFFICER but it's for the 1911 and it's for the Pre-WW1 era.  It's a nice setup, and not all that expensive.  I can't take a picture for a while since I"m not at home.

I made my own belt, but this one is Jerry's:

Thanks!

We are planning a "Battle of the Bulge" shoot this winter and I thought I'd dress the part. Gonna shoot my Garand, of course, and watch the brass melt into the snow .....

A post-1940 Officer wore what the EM wore - straight-issued M1916 hip holster, web magazine pouches and the rest - many tracked down an M3 shoulder holster, but that was that.

There was no difference in equipment issue.
