Here's a repo of the same one. http://cgi.ebay.com/US-WW2-M1916-Co...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

WWII is a good approximation, but maybe earlier. There should be a makers mark on the back, stamped into it (Boyt? Sears?) and it looks to be in good enough condition that I would think they should be legible.
Could you show a picture of the back?

Boy is that a lousy reproduction on eBay!

It's for a Colt M1911 .45 caliber auto. They were in use from sometime shortly after 1911 (probably 1917-1918 ) up to the time they switched to Browning 9mm, probably around the 1980's. They came in brown and in black.
