I think Raiders holster was modified from Webley holster, you can see it clearly in Tessa's page.

Best regards,

: : Just wondered if anyone noticed that (in Raiders in particular)that on the gun holster, the little strap that holds the flap closed, seems to have a few holes, obviously to allow for smaller guns or whatever.

: : It's just that the standard WWI British holster that I have, as most people here have, only has the one hole.

: : Ok, I can put more holes in the strap, but I was wondering if this meant a different holster altogether.

: : Or is it a case of they had to put a few extra on because the gun Indy was using (in Raiders anyhow) wasn't the full size Webley that the holster was designed for?

: : Thoughts anyone?

: Brian - The Raiders holster wasn't a Webley holster, it was a custom-made military style holster for the modified Smith&Wesson N-Frame revolver Indy had in that film. I think the Webley holster was used in Crusade to go with the big Webley obviously. If you want accuracy, don't put any more holes in it.
