It has 1917 Rockisland arsenal t.c.o. on the front of the bag
he says that it is real thick leather about 4 inches wide has a wide strap,
in front it gets narrow and is 4 to 5 inches tall.......
thank you for your time

I believe it is a pistol case for a 1911.

I would try this place, they have a museum as well. maybe you can contact someone at the museum and they can research it for you.
