British Ballester Molina...

[Len S]

I acquired this pistol yesterday. It's a Ballester Molina made by the Argies for the Brits in '44 & marked with a second "B" prefix serial #.
It's in really nice condition and as a bonus it came with a WWI American Pin Co. magazine. Does anyone know what holsters the Brits used for these?
Here are some pics.

Very nice and rather rare pistol: congratulations! While I can't answer your question definitively, I've seen a number of pictures of M1911A1 pistols carried by British forces in regular Pattern 37 web holsters. I can't speak for the Ballester-Molina, but is shares broadly the same dimensions as the M1911A1, so it stands to reason it would fit just fine as well.

Released for commercial sale and proofed at London Proof House sometime after 1954.

Nice pistol.
