Found out which holster it is. Its a Cathey Enterprises left handed M9 pistol holster. The M9 being the Beretta 92F and Beretta 92FS.
Regards to all, Simon.

Dave,
Excellent day, thanks
Were only supposed to be going for an hour, turned into nearly 4 hours
So much kit to look through. Jimpy spent just about all his time looking through a warehouse full of webbing, some of which dated back to WW1. My friend Lee wandered around in a daze. I spent about four hours looking through bags and bags, and crates, of shell cases. I found a wooden crate full of 2 pounder shell heads, all WW2 dated
Regards to all, Simon.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the "big build up" Simon! I think if all three of us were being honest, and we all said it at the time, it was a case of "3 big kids let loose in a candy shop!" We could all have spent a hell of lot more than we did. Simon spent £15, I dont know how much Lee spent and I parted with £40! But, mine was all on webbing and I think its fairly common knowledge on here about my passion for webbing equipment.
Photos will be posted over the next couple of days in the appropriate forum but for now heres a list of what I got, some may say I was a bit foolish, but I am happy with what and how much it cost altogether.

The owners of our "goldmine" were brilliant, they were supposed to be closing at 12, we left at about 330pm ish!! having been let loose over all their site, and there were still areas that we didnot cover, its one of those places where you could spend all day there and still NOT check out all the nooks and crannies. A big thank you to Simon, (ShadowWolf), for putting me onto it, (it was worth getting stuck in the traffic to and from yours mate!)

Regards etc to all
