I have the same holster for my BSR, as you probably picked out in one of the previous photos I posted in this thread. Mine is darker, almost saddle brown, no markings...but the same. Others on the Forum have suggested in previous discussions that these particular flap holsters were made by Brauer Bothers for the Victory's. The Canadian belt is very, very nice indeed. I especially like the brass findings used for the waist size adjustment. Is that a serpent or some sort of mythical sea horse type creature? Wondering if that might allude to it being Naval in origin? Also wondering if the metal hanger lines up correctly with the grommets of the belt? Very cool period accessory!

Yes, this holster is the full flap Navy holster for the Victory correctly unmarked. I have no evidence it would be a Brauer Bros production anyway it doesn't match very well with this old style canadian belt. The Army Victory holsters for 4" and 5" are half flap with the big US and manifacturer's name on the back.
