Police Holster
 

just in, I know it's a police holster, but beside that nothing else.

The flap is broken, can it be repaired to look as the separation never happened? Can the name written on the back be removed?

Thank you

yes and then no

yes, Jerry Burney can fix the lid

No, you can not and should not attempt to remove the markings on the rear, you'd have to rub them off, then instead of markings, you'd have a deep rubbing or gouge.

Pretty sure It started life as an artillery holster (see stitching markings on back) - but there should be markings on the outside or stamped on the inside of the lid.

What markings are on the tool?
.
Show pictures of complete holster, front and rear, show close ups of markings please.

I like it, will clean up nice

nice police marking, 5 digit on tool

police marking on the body, WW1 holster style that went into Weimar service

As is, what is its value? About if repaired?
Thank you

as-is about $75 / but then you know what you paid for it?

fixed, which will cost probably the same as eventual value, around $150 + or - a bit, remember, it will cost you in shipping

the tool is worth $50-$85 - police ones don't sell a lot more than a plain one to most people
