Lucked Out (Long)

Went to a Gun Show here in Portland Oregon yesterday(10/14/01) while visiting my son. Small show for such a large place. Saw 1 Luger a fair 1939/42 with holster for 695 and 1 P38 a ac42 in sad condition for 349.95. Walked the show saw nothing of interest so went back to take a closer look at the Luger typical over priced for condition. Holster was in pretty good condition asked if he would sell holster seperatly he said he would but was probably more than I wanted to pay. He was asking 150 for holster tried to dicker but he would not come down sai he could sell holsters all day long at that price, I bought it for the asking price he figuared he had a sucker. Now the rest ot the story the HOLSTER IS A 1935 MILITARY ISSUE, WaA142 MARKED MADE BY C HEIN---- DRESDEN. Black in color,belt loops solid, good solid form, has had flap restiched, and lift strap knot is missing or has come loose, some minor flaking on flap but otherwise a good sound holster. Will send to Jerry to look at for possible restoration. What are chances of coming that distance finding one holster and coming up with a RARE item? I paid for my Airline ticket with this find. This is only the second 1935 military holster that I have seen in my collecting experience.
