In Jerzy Majka's book on the 10th Cavalry Brigade, I noticed there are a number of photos of officers wearing holsters that are not the Vis 35 issue one. (pages 69, 58 - showing Maj. Franciszek Skibinski armed with Colt .38 pistol). Sorry no scans at this time.
These holsters appear smaller and more like my Finnish Lahti holster. What sidearm would these holsters be used for? Polish Nagant pistols perhaps?
Also in the book it mentions that the officers in the 10th Cavalry Brigade were allowed the exception of wearing their sidearms on the left instead of the right. (photos on page 47 shows officers with binocular cases on the right and left but holsters on the left). Anyone know why? Thanks.
