Default Walking Dead (Glenns 1911 Holster)

Does anyone know what kind of holster Glenn from the Walking Dead uses for his 1911. I have searched a bit, coming up empty.

Default Glenn's holster

Looks like the US GI WW2 and later vintage issue holster for tankers etc.
Note, it is brown; US Army switched from brown to black leather in about the late 50's, IIRC. El Paso Saddlery makes an excellent repro, including for models other than the 1911.

Yeah that is the 1942 Tanker Holster, and I believe the switch to black was late 40's early 50's I have seen lot's of overdyed WWII 1911 and 1942 holsters. Funny most of them they just dyed the front visible side the back is still brown.
