On my way home today I stopped of at one of the local pawn shops to have a look around.
I didn’t see any guns that I had to have, but I did see a M7 holster in the used holsters. It was in decent shape and only marked $14.95.
I brought it up to the counter and asked if they would take $10. The guy said sure, and now it’s mine.
What I got is a Nordac Manufacturing Corporation (abbreviated Nordac Mfg Corp , or NMC) M7 holster.
Nodal was in business from 1977 to 1985 and had several individual equipment manufacturing contracts for the Government.
The holster is in pretty good shape, but the strap a couple of bad spots.

Gunny, were you a primo supply sergeant in another life? You always seem to get good stuff somewhere.
 
Nordac (from Fredericksburg, Virginia) had an interesting ending. It had a contract to supply Winchester-manufactured 5.56 mm ammunition to a Central American country, under the foreign military assistance program. When this ammunition started having a large number of misfires, the feds investigated. It turned out the ammunition was actually made in Yugoslavia. Nordac had a special machine that would remove the Yugoslav headstamps and substitute spurious Winchester headstamps. (The owner's ex-wife, who was also involved in the business, ratted on him, and he went to prison. I actually met him a couple of times, before all this went down.) Nordac's web and leather gear making machinery ended up in the hands of London Bridge Trading Company.

Never worked in supply, but I was a Company Gunny. I was very good at appropriating anything I needed.
One of the reasons I come across so much stuff is that I work in a gun related field with other gun people. And I’m always on the hunt for anything gun related.


Is that for a govt. 45????
Yes. It’s for the 1911A1.:thumbup:

I had heard about a contractor that had done that with ammunition, but didn’t know that it was Nordac.
 
Nice find..... nice price. Not familiar with Nordac or the history of them but it's interesting to hear of it. If they had stayed in business they probably would have started making holsters for those Beretta M-9's that Uncle Sam started going to in the mid 1980's IIRC.
