"Rare" Bulgarian Luger Holster

[lugerholsterrepair]

Rich, I have never figured these out..IF the loading tool pouch and pin pouch on the front were intended for those purposes..how come they never appear to have been used? I have never seen one of these holsters where there is any tool usage..

I came to the conclusion long ago these were post war reproduction holsters. I guess one would have to make a thorough study of Bulgarian period photo's to authenticate them but I have never found them interesting like you do..

I always think of the two belt loops like a girl with her eyes too close together..not very good looking.

My good Friend Tom Armstrong used to give these away to whoever wanted one..They are pretty much a $35.00 holster.
These guys are dreaming if they think anyone will pay $300 for one..

Maybe they were never issued the tools??? *

...but I have never found them interesting like you do..

I like the shaped/sculpted look...The Wehrmacht (or even Imperial) holsters seem more like big pistol bags rather than holsters...

Like the difference between gloves and mittens...I'm a gloves guy...

* When I was in the military (both Marines and Air Force), we were never issued any individual tools...No rods, no brushes, no swabs even...but when shooting was over, every 10 people got a rod/bore brush/chamber brush/toothbrush/swabs/solvent/oil etc...
