Hey Ron, you said </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva"> However, on the other hand, it would also seem that, unless the rig had provinence as a rig. It would be worth no more than it's combined parts. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">I totally agree!! I collect Lugers, some collect rigs. To me the "rig" was another ploy to enhance the sale of holsters by a well known Luger Retail House a few years ago. They had a bunch of holsters they couldn't sell, so they came up with the marketing ploy of the "Rig".
Without provanence, I'll buy the pistol and try my best not to include the rig.
After saying that, the price of the leather has out paced the price of the pistol. So if your looking for an investment, sounds like the leather has it!!
