1941 WaA869 gut P.08 holster. Value?
 

I have a 1941 WaA869 gut P.08. It is not a repo. Check the pics. What would this be worth. I was offered $150.00 for it. But I thought that is was low.

First, welcome to the forum! :)

I always check prices on e-bay. You can see what approx values are there, and then look and see retail at Randy Bessler's, etc.


I think the price is fair, but low... looks like a nice holster...

Hi Brian,

Another Welcome to the Forum..!

As well, original P-08 holsters are going for silly prices as of late, so $150 looks very low based on current prices in the condition as yours. The stitching looks excellent - but I'd also ask that Jerry B. (on the Forum as "lugerholsterrepair") add his perspective...!

Brian, Ed and John have given you excellent advice. Do some research on eBay. That is pretty much the indicator of current market values.

This holster seems to be in pretty good condition. There are several right now on eBay that have a buy it now price of 500 bucks. I don't think they will get it but I have been wrong before.

I would estimate your holster is worth somewhere between 225 and 325 but the only real way to know is to offer it on auction.

Luger leather is fast becoming an expensive accessory. High quality and rarity drive this and your holster is reasonable collector quality although not rare.

Good luck and welcome to the Forum! Jerry Burney

Hey Fellows,

Could someone look up the maker's name for Brian as well ?

I am away from my holster books....

Looks like a nice holster...should look great with a '41 Black Widow luger !

Thanks everyone for the speedy replies....Probally going to take it to eBay but still unsure what to set the reserve at. What would be bottom and top?

$275 reserve price
$325 buy it now?




thanks

Hey Brian,

You may want to list it in the LugerForum "for sale" below - and just post "Best Offer over the next (X) Days" (whatever time frame). Sort of like a silent auction with a minimum bid of whatever you decide. While this Forum isn't eBay (thank the Lord ;) ) - it does have some pretty serious collectors..

Just thought..

Ohhhhhh, it was John D that suggested he post without a price! :D

That John D, he is a rascal, he encourages people to buy guns, get them in trouble with his wife, be honest, etc., jeeeeezzzzz :eek:
