WW1 Imperial German Luger Snail Drum Leather Carry Case
 

Did the buyer get ripped off? or does this really exist? :confused:

Hi Cody, It's a fantasy item. For your information snail drum magazines were not introduced until 1917.

AHH...what's 750 bucks more or less? Guy should have bought a Luger library.

Nice looking repro item, looks like it would go well with one of those Numrich repro snail drums I've heard of recently.

The giveaway for me was the stiching, a little too irregular, and it's stained dark where the leather's dark. Looks a lot like my repro C-96 stock leather I got from Northridge a year of so ago, and it, too had the 'stained stitching' that this one seems to have...

The caveat being I'm no leather expert, just my observations. Didn't know about the anachronistic date stamp issue, myself.

Along with the issue that leather drum holders were never made or issued--only the canvas examples stand a chance of being real.

I guess "for what it's worth" wasn't much. :thumbup:

I would think that if they were real when they got wet from the weather while carring them they would shrink and if you needed them in a hurry you would not be able to get them out of the holster!
Just my 2cents.Thanks,George:eek:
