HK Holster Question...

Pete Ebbink · 07-15-2004, 05:30 PM

Hey John D.,

Thanks again for your thoughtful replies.

I learned a lot about HK original holsters versus re-issued holsters...

Glad I did not waste my several 25 cent coins on this buy...it just looked "right" so I took the gamble...

Here is my WAG on the serial number stamping...the guy who carried luger # 5665 and its holster did so with pride and care. Other HK's folks saw his holster and "borrowed" it one evening, since theirs was pretty ratty.

The # 5665 owner secured an armory replacement and insisted it get serial numbered stamped...so he could prove it was his...if stolen again...

End of fiction...hey...maybe I need to create a bring-back story...anyone have old paper and a typewriter...? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
