Jerry et.al.
There is an exceptional looking artillery holster rig for sale on ebay. I am thinking about bidding, but I would appreciate a few competent individuals giving me their opionion first. It looks very nice and does look very legit to me, but I have been fooled before.

Looks like a repro to me. Check out the extra belt loop on the back and the single thickness toe boot.

The "extra" belt loop on the back of the holster is a "tell" of a prevalent repro.

Wood shape of the handle on the cleaning rod is all wrong and the groove pattern does not look right either.

Notice how repro leather begins to age and gain patina...after...some repro's are now approaching 30 years old.

Well, shows you what I know. But I don't claim to know leather. I think I'll stick to Lugers. At least I have a fairly good shot at knowing a good Luger. Thanks guys, I do appreciate the guidance

Anybody checked on that repo holster rig to see where it finished? Well, have a look !!! $1025.00 and 36 bids. And while you are looking at holsters, might as well take a look at this $4500 holster. Item number 250125108758.

Remember when this seller was trying to re-invent himself as selling as "katherine9205"...and she sure had "man hands" in the photo of her one and only eBay offering...???...

Geez! 36 bids and sold for $1025... expensive lesson. There seems to be a whole lota lessons to be learnt to a bunch of people. Be careful out there gentlemen.
