Re: Did Howdah HOLSTERS exist?

To a US expat well familiar with the colonial history of East Africa, it was deeply embarrassing to see the insertion of a nonexistent American into what was already a dreadful movie about a remarkable true story. Even more embarrassing was the Hollywood movie about the capture of the Enigma machine by the British Navy in 1942: the producers made it the US Navy, assuming that American audiences have no interest in even our closest allies. They're probably right.
Brother the sum total of all Hollywood's errors would require its own forum. I referred to that movie because its the ONLY movie where a Howdah is displayed AND with a holster. Perhaps THATS the greater shame, why dont we have more movies staring Howdah pistols?
As for being a US expat, Im thinking we might be seeing a few more with the way things are going here. Im regretting my decision NOT to leave for the RSA a few years ago.
