DescriptionBlack-and-white photograph of ceremonial U.S. Army belt and holster set made with leather from R. Neumann & Co., Hoboken, no date, circa 1942-1945. 8" x 10" wide print with typewritten label applied to image; photographer not indicated. Image or negative number in image at top right corner: 5036-X. Ink notation at lower right: World War II. Reverse blank. Typewritten label: Instead of the traditional, outmoded sword, high-ranking officers of the U. S. Army now wear this handsome belt and holster set on dress occasion. The Q.M.C. [Quartermaster Corps] selected R. Neumann & Co., Hoboken tanners, to develop an especially fine calf leather for these distinctive belt sets, and Neumann Calf is used exclusively for them. ==== Two different gun holster models are shown, one on and one off the belt. Print is from Neumann files courtesy of the Bernheim Family; apparently used in product promotion for sales meeting or trade association event. ---- World War Two / uniform / guns / firearms / ceremony / ceremonies / manufactured products / tanning /
