In 1927, the Dutch military resumed contracts with BKIW, formally DWM, for 3820 Model 1911 or M.11 grip safety Lugers for the Dutch East Indies Army, all of which were delivered in 1928. The holsters were made by the Centrale Werkplaats (C.W.) in Batavia (now Djakarta) during the thirties and until 1941. Of those we have seen in the past 35 years they always were stamped with the C.W. markings + year and 'N'. These holster and pouches survived the Japanese occupation of the East Indies and the tropical jungle. This pouch is offered for $1,895.00 over the counter. |

The distinctive snap covers of the Dutch East Indies holsters and magazine pouches identifies the authentic from the current reproductions that are sold on EBay. |

The back is strongly stitched and in very good condition. The leather is thick cowhide and tanned in the brown standard color. This rare pouch is rather amazing considering it was made prior to the war in the East Indies, survived the Japanese occupation and jungle environment and made its way all the way to the US probably re-captured by the US or Indonesian forces. This very rare and authentic magazine pouch is offered for $1,895.00 over the counter. We reserve the right to withdraw any firearm/accessory from an auction site that is sold over the counter.
