In-Coming French Holster...
This one is not in the best of shape...but it is the only one I have seen for sale in 5-6 years of my Luger interest...
French post WWII Luger holster... I should have it home in a week or so. I am hopeful my cleaing techiques will make this one look a lot nicer when I am finished with it... http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u...gerHolster.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u...nchleather.jpg |
Hi Pete,
Really well done! After you clean it do you mind to send to me some high quality scan? Cheers, Mauro |
Will do Mauro !
|
Pete -
May I ask where in the world did you find this holster? Mauser720 - Ron |
Wow! A unique score! Pete, you do have a way of finding the most unusual accoutrements. :cheers:
Echoing Ron's sentiment, "How do you do it?" :D |
Real interesting find Pete. Steve is sure right you do find some of the most interesting items.

Patrice,
I am hoping it is "GIL"...will let you know. Ron, French eBay site... |
Steve,
Speaking of accoutrements... Here is a Swiss shooting taler made in 1901 that is on its way to my home. It is pictured on page 74 in the little book "Swiss Shooting Talers & Medals" by Delbert Ray Krause, 1965... I thought it perfect to go along with one of my M1900 Swiss Lugers made in 1901... http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u...SwissTaler.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u...stalerbook.jpg |
French holster made by GIL is home... a 4" 1913 Erfurt Luger is placed in the holster for display...
(Mauro...email sent this afternoon, as well...) http://forum.lugerforum.com/lfupload...ster_front.jpg http://forum.lugerforum.com/lfupload...back_copy1.jpg http://forum.lugerforum.com/lfupload...logo_copy1.jpg |
Pete Very nice holster. Bill
|
Thanks, Bill...
I will spend a few more days on cleaning and reconditioning the leather...but the first round sure has made a difference in the color and suppleness of the leather...it was initially quite dirty and very dry. BTW...does anyone have any info. on the firm of "GIL" ? Is GIL a family/firm name or an acronym ? When did this firm make holsters ? |
