Web Holster used with Patt. '08 W.E.

For the first 27 years of its service life, Patt. ’08 had no webbing holster, at least not for the Rank and File. All that existed was the leather Case, pistol, Webley, with brass hooks, for the issue .455-in Webley, or Pistol No. 1 Mark IV or VI revolver. As a consequence of handling difficulties, during training, the .38-in. Enfield revolver, or Pistol No.2 was introduced in 1932. Its smaller frame easily fitted the existing leather cases, so no immediate provision was made for its carriage.

The un-suitability of the leather case was finally addressed when, approved on 28 March, 1935 with the introduction of this Holster.
