Default Re: Scandanavian Holster Modification

Might be un-forgivable to those only wanting "pure" German WWII but should be a big plus to those also interested in Post War military use of the Luger and or Scandanavian military arms. I for one am happy they survived at all....most of the stuff did not. I would have been considerate for present day collectors if the Germans had never let anything leave the factory. Then all of this stuff would not show wear and tear, blood pitting, shrapnel damage, and rework to put it back into the line for a second trip into hell or by some capturing nation to continue military use of the item. I've really have never understood why so many collectors who say they are interested in military fireams, don't just collect Comemmoratives because then they can have an un-fired and untouched collection and not something that has been defiled (and heaven forbid, shows less than 95% blue!) by being used in service/combat by some mean ole soldier.
