Nice German Holster

Hello Guys,
Just received this nice holster I have bought in Germany.
I like the leather works they made.
Do you like it?
Have fun,
Mauro

Mauro,

That's a beautiful holster. I like the oak leaf tooling pattern. Very nice indeed.

Mauro, YES! Very nice..I like the sharp pointed leather edge projections on the top and the inside edge. Very innovative and artistically interesting.
Like Ron says, the tooling is beautifully German.

Mauro, very nice.

Acorn patterns are not that popular in the Netherlands, though. Basically because the Dutch name for acorn is 'Eikel', and that word is also used to refer to certain genital parts and people with limited brain capacity

Nice looking holster! Kind of an Old West flavor but with oak leaf instead of floral scroll tooling.

Mauro, a very nice holster. Like Ron says, it's got an almost western flavor to it, perhaps inspired by Karl May.

Funny Gerben, because when I hear "Acorn", I think of Squirrils, which is probably spelled differently, but was what I was told (at least in Limburg), squirrils = acorn.

I like the patten too, nicely done and interesting, has a wild west look to it, yet is european.

Hi Ed,

You're not too far off the mark. 'Eekhoorn', pronounced like 'acorn', is indeed a Squirrel. Not too dissimilar from the German 'Eichhorn'.

As a collector of luger commercial holsters I like it very much. Bill

Happy to see that you like the holster; I like it too.

Have fun,
Mauro

That is a very trick holster, cool design!

I have encountered a few presentation PP and PPK that were chased with the same pattern. Distilled Germania, pure and simple,
