Value of 1916 holster/stock set?

Monkeyman,
real artillery holsters with all the straps and a stock cup are a very hard find. Some dates are nearly impossible to find since many collectors try to match the chamber dates on the artillery to the manufactures dates on the holster. Because of their scarcity, it is difficult to give a price. I recently bought a very nice 1914 dated artillery holster with a matching magazine pouch for over two grand. There were no straps or stock cup. Real artillery holsters alone will start at about $400 and go up from there. Median prices will be about $650. Rare dates such as a 1914 or 1918 will command a premium.

I memory serves me right, Sarco even offered to stamp a manufactures stamp of some sort along with a date at one time. I don't know if the manufacturers name was real or made up.

I once bought a shooter artillery for $850 and the seller threw in a repro stock and holster just to get rid of it.
