Default Bianchi

This Interarms holster is not maker marked but it does have some of the traits of the Bianchi model 16. It was made for the Parabellum pistol which was imported over here starting in 1969 all through the 80's.

Did Bianchi make these? They were available in 4"(somewhat rare) and 6"(more common). The overall construction, lining, stitching and snap off loop on the back does resemble the Bianchi 16.

I got this one about 20 years ago. It was attached, believe it or not, to a Myres Sam Browne rig.

Thumbs up INTERARMS

I have this rig made by Bianchi for their at the time Virginia Dragoon, before the factory burned down in the '70's. It is so marked as well. Love that holster of yours as well.

I can not answer your question but can provide photos of the Bianchi 16L I bought my grandson for his S&W 64.
