greetings , seeking some assitance in researching information on the " Speed Holster " below,( really thats the name of the company )

I have read that approx . 500-600 with the majority of production shipped to Mexico City circa 1938, I am guessing for either or both , the Mexican Federal Police ( who used 1911 and 1911a1 in .45 ) and the Mexican Federal Highway Police ( who I have told used the 1911a1 in .38 super) .
please correct me if I am incorrect , any and all help would be greatly appreciated , many thanks RJ

I've seen these clamshell type open front holsters befor. I dont think that they go back that far. I remember the L.A.P.D. using that type not too long ago. I never did like them.As for Mexico using them I dont know,anything is possible,I have a commercial Luger holster that our Army gave to the W. German Police. Dennis

It doesn't cover the trigger nor look like it holds the pistol too securely.
