Are USN holster markings historically correct?

Pacific Canvas makes some interesting replica holsters for the 1911's in a huge variety of markings and styles. I'm going to get one just for fun and being an old Squid I thought one of the USN marked ones would be fine. However, I don't recall ever seeing holsters so marked from 1973-1989 so were these historically correct at any time and in what color leather? Thanks for the help.
