Members DoubleBarP Posted July 16, 2012 Members Report Posted July 16, 2012 Hey Guys! Here is a copy of a microfiche (sp?) of original blueprints of the Mod. 1912 Military Pistol Holster. This model has a drop swivel. A later model M-1916, has the military wire pistol belt attachment and a belt slot in the rear. The holsters were both for the M1911 pistol, but were designated by the years that the final designs were accepted by the War Department, 1912 and 1916 respectively. This document was provided to me by Jodie Wesemann, Museum Specialist at the Rock Island Arsenal Museum. She's a really neat lady and is trying to digitize the micro films before they disintegrate, and she's doing it in her spare time. Hope this helps, Mike Mike; That is so nice of you to share the pattern... I have written to them but no response as yet... Thank you for shareing... Did you by chance get any other drawings your willing to share? Would just save her talking to the rest of us one at time.... LOL... thanks again... DBP:You_Rock_Emoticon: Quote
Members DoubleBarP Posted July 17, 2012 Members Report Posted July 17, 2012 Update. I talked with the museum. She is sending me a cd with some drawing on it... Although the 1858 stuff was not available as it was before the Fort was built.... Bottom line she was very helpful and went beyond the call of duty to help me out.... I will be glad to share what she sends me if there is an interest... Regards DBP PS... the scale for some of the drawings is different based on when the drawing was made... Most of the ones I received have a scale in the bottom of the drawing...(like a map legend) Quote
