I have Pattern 58 flap holsters. They are just like the one on the left in your pic, but in OD. I only paid $10, new in the wrap for them. I got mine from Charlies Surplus, they advertise in the Shotgun News. I think Cheaper than Dirt, and/or Sportsmans Guide had them too. They are great holsters. I never understood why our military holsters were never fully covered, the Europeans seem to understand what a field holster should be. These are well made and can fit a number of different belts or systems, and can even be adapted to thigh carry, with a little work. I can get a 1911 Government, or Commander in mine, without the spare mag. The Commander fits a little better. The holster was made for the High Power, so gun and extra mag go in fine.
