Weird question sorry, does anyone know where I can find a good reproduction of the United States issue belt and 1911 holster of world war 2? Oh and the pocket knife if there was even one issued?

They also have a fair replica of the M2 “Paratrooper pocket knife.”

It’s not a true switchblade like the originals, but nice enough for the price.

You should also add one of these mag pouches:

They made millions of them for WW1, and we used them in WW2, Korea, and probably even Vietnam. Still easy to find originals in new condition for not a lot of money. Lots of other places sell them too, including eBay.

The single snap on the M1936 pistol belt holds it in place.

ETA: At The Front sells a reproduction for slightly less:

Excellent. Good links fast.

If interested in chest holster, repro M3 and M7 are abundant for low cost. M7 has the extra chest strap for better secured against chest. A good non-hip choice

Morning BroSon, thanks.

USMC marked/dated M7 fetch hundreds of dollars, good repro's are (or were) low/median 2 digits.
A decent relic design for conceal/carry holster, particularly in Winter under coat.

OP....original M36 pistol belts are all over Ebay...cheap.  Lots out of Russian for years.  Lend Lease coming back home.

Original holsters are more but still can be found reasonably.

M3 it the first widely produced chest holster used in every Theater of operations.
Soon replaced by M7 with the needed second strap, both intended for M1911/A1, served widely long after Korea

Damn, I've got originals that I was going to sell for less than the repros.
