Offered here is a finely detailed 1/6 scale WWII British Colt .45 sidearm with correct khaki canvas holster, an essential accessory for any British or Commonwealth World War II figure display.
The canvas holster is accurately reproduced in British khaki webbing, featuring the correct flap profile, stitched belt loop, and press-stud closure typical of wartime British pistol equipment. Paired with it is a Colt M1911/M1911A1–type pistol, finished in a blackened steel tone with brown checkered grips and a lanyard loop with cord — a detail commonly seen on pistols carried by British forces in the field.
This combination is historically appropriate and visually correct for British officers, armoured crews, airborne troops, and special forces units operating during the later years of the war.
Historical Context
Although the British Army initially relied on revolvers such as the Webley, shortages during the war led to widespread adoption of American pistols supplied through the Lend-Lease program. The Colt .45 ACP became a familiar sidearm among British commandos, airborne units, and tank crews, valued for its stopping power and reliability.
British-issued pistols were typically carried in canvas webbing holsters rather than leather, matching the rest of the standard Pattern 1937 web equipment. This set accurately reflects that wartime configuration and is ideal for historically grounded 1/6 displays.
