Keep or return 1917 holster

Mac Cat · 11-06-2017, 10:50 AM

The even black finish looks suspicious, but the white threads are hard to believe.
Most of the holsters are covered with maker marks, codes, and other markings.
Many holsters were made by at least 100 different companies and some in Poland by slave labor.
The designs and appearance vary a great deal, but this one doesn't look right to.
The missing ordinance codes make it suspicious to me, but certainly not worth more than $50.
And, it's not a good place to keep your luger, either.

I don't store anything in leather. That was just for the photo.
Shipped it out this morning!

Thanks for the advice everyone!
