Any love for Finnish holsters?

[Olle]

A friend overseas found a couple of Finnish Luger holsters, and he asked me if I wanted to buy them. I have seen that the Finn Lugers don't bring much, so what about the holsters?

How exactly did you arrive at that conclusion??? My perception is that the Finnish Lugers [with 4 3/4"/120mm Tikkakoski bbls] bring a bit more than comparable German Lugers...

I sold mine and wish I hadn't...

I have seen them sell in the $1000 range, which isn't much for a scarce variation IMO. Granted, the ones I have seen were all import marked, but you'd still expect them to fetch more than "shooter money".

The holsters are interesting, but not very expensive. Clear S.A. markings are a plus, as well as the rarer holsters with shoulder stock loops.

Thanks, that's good to know! They seem to be fairly easy to find in Scandinavia, so I'm thinking about buying a few just for fun. I don't have a Finn Luger yet, but I figured the holsters would be worth something to someone
