I can´t remember that I ever saw a holster which was blacked inside (later). That wouldn´t have made any sence.
Most of the holsters were blacked only on front side and flap and often the black calor was upused by wearing over the years.

Best regards Klaus

Here are some more photos of a holster which was blacked later- only front side and flap are blacked.

Here are two 1910 dated holsters - the left one was blacked on front and backside, the flap too but not inside the holster.

Klaus, you have some wonderful holsters.

Pistol · 09-06-2009, 11:39 PM

nice photos Klaus........how do you store your holsters and do you apply something on the holsters for protection?

klaus 3338 · 09-07-2009, 03:15 AM

They are hanging on the wall or lie on the floor.

I use Salamander Sportwax for the protection.

found this 1911 for sale and it appears black on inside. But poor condition.

Here are some photos of my holster. With the macro on the camera and flash I can actually see the original burgandy brown color.

Klaus
Now that's a collection!!! Thanks for sharing. Bill

klaus 3338 · 09-11-2009, 01:44 AM

Pistol,
because of the photos I would say that your holster is a well worn one which was never blacked!?

klaus 3338 · 09-11-2009, 01:45 AM

Postino, yes, it´s a Borchandt stock.

Pistol · 09-11-2009, 03:19 PM

You don't think the top inside where the regiment marks are located looks blackened? If the black is from age and wear should I try and clean? If so, what do you recommend?

In the meantime, I'm researching the regiment histories.

Thanks!

Commercial Lugers, with the exception of alphabet Lugers, do not have a suffix. Commercial Lugers are five digits with no suffix (small letter) and alphabet Lugers (which are also commercial) are numbered somewhat in the military style; four digits with a small letter. In 53 years of collecting Lugers, I have never seen a five digiti commercial with a small letter.

Mike,
And you never will!

...(at least not original)
