Bianchi Navy Holster

Very nice Bianchi Navy Luger holster. Marked Bianchi Luger #16. Suede lined Very heavy tooled leather. Any ideas on value?

It's a horrible looking holster Bill, I hope you didn't pay too much for it. However, if you want to get rid of that wretched thing, I'm interested.
Best regards, Norm

Multi-purpose holster? http://www.gunbroker.com/item/644918457

The #16 is probably a style type. Within that made to fit different firearms. The one you show is left handed , no lining and not tooled. I expect there are several variations even by gun model. Thanks. Bill

Bill,
I have no idea what it is worth but I do know it is a dandy holster, very well made (but I agree with Norm, horrible looking and a wretched example, but only if you are trying to pry it away from you

)!

Bill, I think the plain, left-handed one is overpriced. Its condition is a bit nasty, as well. But yours would also fit any Luger with a 6" barrel or even a Ruger Mark with the longer barrel. I'd say at least $75-80.

I think it was Bianchi who made the holsters for the 70's Mauser Lugers. After looking at this one it's somewhat obvious.

That is a handsome holster.
