This holster appeared on eBay and I don't think it's a pistol holster at all.

This sack is undoubtably German in origin. It has all the hallmarks of German manufacture. I have my doubts that it is a pistol holster at all. I have no doubt that it once held a pistol but I think it was originally made for some other purpose, such as an instrument case, say for a surveying instrument or some such. No German Sattler in his right mind would make this thing up as a PPK holster. In the sellers description it is purported to be a high party official holster! What a load of crap...No high party official would be caught dead wearing this for his pistol. The straps on the rear are poorly done and don't even look like they belong there. They were deffinately added later.

I would really like to know why someone coughed up 212 smackers for it....

I am interested to see what the Forum Members have to say about this one...Thanks, Jerry Burney
