Surplus Military Leather Holsters from China

A look at some surplus holsters I purchased on-line.

It reads Makarov 9 mm pistol holster "hai" (which means sea and might be the abbreviation for Navy) something/3 made in year of 60 ( 1960 I think) 
These might be very rear because it says Makarov instead of type 59 which is the name of the Chinese copy. In China they usually gave weapons Chinese names and designations after they are being mass produced. So these holster might be produced for the earliest Chinese copies.

Love that neatsfoot oil. Go through it like water sometimes. Sorry to hear about the pup. Been there. Last one was two years ago. Still miss the critter.

It reads "For Makarov 9mm Piston. Made in the 60's. " The character in the square reads "Sea" or "Ocean". I believe that's the abbreviation of the name of a city.

The first line is “Holster of Makarov 9mm Pistol". The second is “[Navy] Made in March 11th (19)60".

Nice holsters, the marks in the leather is common is not an issue.

Makarov holsters make a good small 380 hiking holster nothing will fall out of that

Well you've now raised a question I've been wanting to ask somebody about my TT33 and it's holster. Since you are the first to show this type of holster, .you're it !   
I just recently received my post war TT-33 with it's holster. It is Russian made, and the holster came with the magazine inserted into the outside pouch. Now the fun begns !( which raises my question) . How, on earth, do I, or anybody else for that matter, withdraw the magazine with any kind of ease ? Man, is that mag. held in there tightly !  Do you have any recommendations that would make insertion and removal of the mag. easier. This leather holds that mag. really tight.

Are you able to own and shoot a Makarov in Canada? We can only have one on a collectors endorsement here and never shoot it due to the barrel being shorter than 4 inches... Which is a massive pity because id love to have one to play with at our club.

The magazine pouch is fo single or doube stack magazines? Do you think this holser fit a CZ 75 compact?

[shothecker]

Do you remember the name of the seller? I would like to purchase a few if still available

[waltonli]

Just want to ask could a 1911 fit in those holster?
Was looking to pick up one for airsofting because they are quite cheap.
Thanks
