There is even a very small but real possibility that it is genuine- despite our collective expert observations damning it to reproduction status. JMHO.



I would LOVE to have ANYONE explain to me how this is even remotely the case because it isn't. NEVER has there been an original German Luger holster made this way. It is made EXACTLY how cheap repros are made by Pakistani fools that produce them from pictures or descriptions handed down through generations of verbal folklore. To suggest otherwise is irresponsible and a disservice to the collecting community.

Already Sky Zero has taken the bait in the post above.

The probability is not small. It is a repro, nothing else.

To suggest this $40 repro is anything else and even to hint it might be original is not doing anyone a favor. Except the seller...

philosophical point and I stand by it.



The study of Luger holsters made by and for the German civilian/military during 1900 to 1945 has never been contemplated by philosophers.This holster is 100% bad and a repro. There is no question about it and no cognizant argument can be made by anyone who has even a passing knowledge of the subject. Some things in life do not fall under the mystic spell of philosophy. They just are what they are and sensible people know and accept that without dragging in and blaming philosophers.

If you have a dog. No matter how much you philosophize or use college reasoning you are never going to make it into a cat. Sorry but that's the real world. Bill

Quite simple:

He bought a $40 reproduction holster on Ebay. Yes, there are countries that are creating crap like this at an alarming (and cheap hourly) rate.

Then he buried it in a bucket of dirt for a couple of days.

After that he put it on Ebay at an inflated price.

Not exactly rocket science.

Hi all,
The make seems to be C.Leuner GmbH in Bautzen 1941. Many repro holsters offered in Europe are signed with this maker's name.
It must however be said that the seller did not state that the holster is original. An attic find is not an indication of an items originality.

Here's another VERY bad fake the guy claims to be "original"

Looks like it was scuffed up with scotch brite.
And oh my god that stitching...

Interesting factoid..Notice the shape of the tool pouch closure flap on BOTH of these horrid examples. See how pointy they are? INSTANT tell...Among a dozen other tells...

The holster sold for $284 with 3 different bidders wanting it. The seller has a 60 day return policy and will probably get it back when the buyer realizes he bought the story and not the holster.
Some pictures for the record.
