[lugerholsterrepair]

Joe, I think there would be a good market for well made repro holsters. Emahasis on "well made". There are always collectors willing to accept aftermarket(post 1945) items and I cannot blame them for doing so. I honestly do not compete with this market. There is no way I could. It takes me days if not weeks to make a Luger holster exactly as the Germans did at the turn of the Century. I hand stitch and hand hammer and craft until it is just right.The few holsters I have made over the years were crafted from the heart, not for the money. Believe me when I say I am not getting rich pushing a needle 10n hours a day. There is a small select few in the World willing to pay what I ask for these museum pieces and that is as it should be.They are descriminating collectors who appreciate a virtually lost art and are willing to pay today's prices for it. I frankly could not supply more than I do already in my one man shop. Mostly what I do is repair not build from scratch. The few holsters I have made have been what the repro market does not address or do well such as Baby Luger holsters and Imperial Navy's. So there is room for all who want different things. Life is good...Jerry Burney
