I sent a beat up, (really beat up!) Weimar era cut down artillery holster to Jerry Burney and had hopes he could revive it to some degree? Well, what I received back exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds!
In short, this guy is good, real good!!!.. It made me feel I was standing there when it was reissued!...

.. Jer, you just keep getting better and better... Best to all, til...lat'r...GT...

The belt loops were probably original to the revision from 8" to 4" so we left'em that way... I like it! Not everything is the way you think it should be?.. I now have it hanging in my Hobbit workshop! You should have seen the before.... It was really ratty.... now, it's respectable... again, I like it!

Gerald, Jerry is the man, I have to agree with you 100%. His work is world class!!! John

There is no one on planet earth I would have repair my holsters except Jerry. And he has worked his magic on many of mine. Bill

I've sent several holsters to Jerry - he's an amazing Craftsman and has always exceeded my expectations.

It's sunny here with some rain and I don't have a hat on the ranch that will fit my swelled head!

The other day I promised this old dog would learn how to post photos. I figured it out on Jan's Forum with Ellie's & Ed's Tinker's help. Now I need to do it over here on John's forum.

I put it off long enough. Computers are like a corn maze to me..I get stuck and in trying to go forward or backward I can't find my way out without a map. But I ain't too far gone yet..the old brain still producing spark enough to fire a few cylinders.

Thanks for all the kind words...

Interesting, this site is one of the easiest to post a picture, right from a computer storage.
I wish it was as easy to post videos, not just a link to YouTube .

lugerholsterrepair · 06-24-2021, 07:28 PM

So I must look for the map...

spangy · 06-24-2021, 10:51 PM

I would love to see the 'before' pictures GT or Jerry.
Do either of you have any ???

Fingers crossed

The holster looks great by the way

lugerholsterrepair · 06-24-2021, 10:59 PM

Greg, I didn't take any..

Jerry is a professional, a shy one at that!
