M1A1 Carbine leg holster

[m1903rifle]

I found a M1A1 Carbine leg holster/pouch today. It is marked U.S. on the outside of the flap and HAV. STCH. CO./1944 on the inside of the flap. The material is OD Green canvas and the fasteners are blackened brass. The leg strap is broken. It was literally a "barn find" at an estate sale. If this is legitmate, what would it be worth?Attachment 34369Attachment 34370Attachment 34371Attachment 34372Attachment 34373

It's a good one. I would estimate that the case is still worth $200+ even with the damaged strap.

I have had this one for many years, it is still new looking. There are repros around for up to $200 and nice originals for sale
in the $300 to $400 price rangeP1010037_0035.jpgP1010038_0036.jpgP1010039_0037.jpg

Thanks to both of you for your help. I will try to get $250.00 for it at a gunshow this week end.
