MEXICAN OR SPANISH BOLO MAUSER LEATHER HOLSTER breech and barrel are numberedWhat a wonderful find! This is a rare Bolo Mauser C 96 holster, or pistolera, made of thick pigskin, nicely decorated with incised feathers, rooster's head, diamonds forming a cross. I won't lie, the exact origin is unknown to me, so I would surmise that it dates from the early 1900s, Mexican Revolution period, to the 1930s, the Spanish Civil War. Esta es una excelente funda de pistola de piel de cerdo antigua para un Bolo Mauser!
