You should have given me a shout at the weekend. We used a Webley leather holster during the NCC. Actually, what happened, was, that during WWII the Officers of the British Army all had to wear sam brown with holster when at home. As the WWI Webley Mk VI had been replaced by the smaller Webley Mk IV .38, the expedient was to shorten the Mk VI holster for the shorter barrel. This is the item we used at the NCC using a Ruger .45. A great fit.
Is your wife the lovely Doctor of Navy? If she is what a charm she is. If you are her husband you are not bad either!!! lol
When I got back to Blighty, my Doctor said I had broken a rib, torn my back muscles and had internal bleeding in the lungs. Besides that I was fine lol.
You mention Doug on another post. Is this the Doug who assisted the authenticity test? If so, I would love his email address as he was a gentleman.
Hey, Stan!
The Webley idea came up when I was talking with Doug Kidd and showing him the photos of the original. If my “head and ass had been wired together” I would have asked you. My bad!!!!!
Yes, Sandy is a retired Navy Flight Surgeon (and currently is a semi-retired Occupational Medicine specialist). She says she’s glad you’ve gotten properly evaluated and wishes you the best in your recovery. I, too, send my best wishes!!!

He did do an outstanding job with the Mounted Saber competition. I was not in Authnticity so I'll take your word on it! I hope we can have him down again next year.
What are the prospects for you and your team? We truly enjoyed your company this year and look forward to future visits.
Take care, get well, and come back and see us!
