holster questions

Rich T · 04-25-2010, 05:56 AM

Hi Edward...

I have a similar holster, brown leather. Can't make out much of the stamping...looks like a "1939" and I can see a waffenamp? mark below the date. She's a little rough..obviously seen service. If I get some pix, could you help me with a value? Due to economic times I may be forced to sell it along with my refinished (by Thor I believe) 1936 shooter.

Hmm I see partial lettering on re-examination.. "AUTZ" above the date... Maybe RAUTZ? BAUTZ? And all the lettering appears straight across... no curving stamps.

OK E.G. Leuner Bautzen 1939 I believe.

Rich T · 05-14-2010, 10:58 AM

No ideas on the value folks? I WILL be selling the pistol and the holster. Sigh.

I would suggest you start a new thread and add the pics for the best responses.

Edward Tinker · 05-14-2010, 12:43 PM

yes, posting into another thread just gets confusing; I did not even notice that you had done so.

Made a new thread and made sure that you will get emailed if any responses.

But pictures and price are needed for the for sale section.

DOH! Right... sorry. Been a particulary rough few days. Hence the sale of pistol and stuff. I have a fair shot of the group here somewhere- Thanks guys.

Edward Tinker · 05-14-2010, 08:19 PM

Rich, some more pictures, we would be glad to help.

close ups if possible, top of receiver markings, sides etc; and YES, I understand the overwhelming 'things" of the last few days too brother

I have an album up. I assume you guys can see that? Pix of pistol and holster. Thanks for the patience- as far as price... I have no idea what the holster is worth. So, I guess I'll have to wait to find out.

Dave,

A link to Rich's album.

Rich,

The holster is in pretty rough condition. I would guess in the $150 range , give or take. The Luger looks to be pretty nice, if it isn't refinished. Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks almost too good. Roughly $1500-$1700 if it has original finish. Around $800-$900, if it's refinished, in todays slow market.

I've seen Lugers that would have sold for $2000+ two years ago, selling for $1400-$1500 now. The current economy has brought prices down.

Hi Rich, Ron is right the holster is in sad shape. The good news is that the gun looks great. If that magazine with the aluminum base has a matching number it could be worth closer to $2,500. Regards, Norm

Well... I guess I struck out all the way around heh. It IS refinished, by Thor, in Umm...'05 I think. And the mag does not match #'s. I kinda figgered the holster was at the low end. OK... now I have enough info to make a post in the FS section. Assuming it's not gone this weekend- local guy looking at it today.

Thank you all- I appreciate it alot!

Ron Smith · 05-15-2010, 10:15 AM

Hey Rich,

Kind of the long way around, but we finally figured it out.

Best of Luck with it...

Ron
