Swiss Holster Alert...!
 

A good Swiss collector, living in Europe, has alerted me that the holster on e-Bay, right now, is a modern-day creation and was not/never used for any Swiss lugers or even the later SIG pistols...

Buyer beware...hope no LF members are on the bidding list...

Pete,
With due respect for your concern for the membership, anyone on this forum who buys such a POS is undergoing the "learning process" and they should perhaps seek remedial instruction.

Although I would rather be "warned" Tom than not.

But I promise, if I buy a pre-WW1, I will contact Ron or others, Pete or others for Swiss and ANY Navy Tom, I would welcome any help, :)

Tom,

I just cannot believe this item is over $ 184.00 and biding is still on-going. You can usually buy a real., decent condition Swiss luger holster complete with shoulder strap that is anywhere from 60-80 years old for $ 150.00...

p.s.

I especially noticed the seller's statement of authenticity at the bottom of his ad... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> and his fine return-policy... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

" Once again : it is not a new made india fake or reproduction : its a real one from old swiss stock ! Sold as is - no return ! "

Pete, This holster does not have even a rudementary resemblence to an original Swiss. There are so many things wrong with it I thought it might have been made by the Mattell toy Co. Like Tom says the buyer needs his head examined. Mercifully his name is hidden by a "private" auction. It irks me that the seller is such a story teller and is getting away with it. Jerry Burney
