Webley Holster

Does anyone make an accurate replica of the Webley holster? Like Keppler? I have one of the WWI hard shell holsters and they are not close. I want a better copy.

International Military Antiques makes a great replica. I got one and am very pleased with it.

I found an authentic Webley holster from WWII just like Indy's on ebay. They will often go for very little $$$.

Cheers,

Pyr,

Do you search under the movie props or wardrobe? Just curious as to what I would plug in the search and what category.

"webley holster" were the only keywords I used. The categories they are often found under are Collectibles:Militaria:WW I & WWII: Great Britain .

There were some canvas holsters issued for the Webley so don't confuse those with the leather ones. However I just did a search and found some leather ones out there.

Hope this helps.
Pyro.

I went with IMA years ago to get my holster. It's a wonderful holster, the leather is very high quality and it distresses nicely. For the price, it's a deal you just can't beat. I would highly recommend going with IMA. Now I am even more excited about getting my Raiders holster from Lee.

I have both. IMA and used. IMA is an excellent source for a looks like a good quality holster. Mine seems very well made and is brand new.

My Ebay Webley holster is of the same construction and design as the IMA. However, the one I found on Ebay has the impressions of the gun that used to be in there. Of course it's all scuffed around the edges. Really an impressive piece.

BTW, it's dark dark brown. Not black as I once thought Indy's LC holster may have been.

Just my $.02,
Pyroxene

Does Lee Kepler have any plans to make an LC Webley holster of the same incredible quality as his Raiders Smith holster? I know that if he did that, I'd be the first in line for one, and I'm sure a lot of others would follow. So how about it Lee?

Well, I have the IMA holster, and while it is a good quality, I don't like the angle on the belt. And besides, it is made for the "Sam Brown" belt. So I contacted Noel Howard and ordered his version. Now comes the wait.

Please tell us how you find Noel's Webley holster to be. I have an original WWII Webley holster, but it is so old, I'm afraid that it won't hold the weight of a Webley much longer. I would like retire this original holster as a show piece and get a more practical, everyday one. Thanks Anejo!
