Is this a rare Swiss Luger?

Didn't Hugo Borchardt spend time in America? perhaps thats where he got the idea !?[/QUOTE]

Of course....He worked for the Winchester Repeating Arms Co...and seems that he developed a Revolver , which purpose was to force Colt to cease production of rifles...[/QUOTE]

I was surprised by your comment as I have never heard of a Borchardt revolver!? But your right, and here is as good an explanation as any on the topic. http://www.airlandseaweapons.com/blo...oading-pistol/

But it seems they were never put into production ! shame I guess!

HKman, The holster that Interarms sold did not have a tool pouch at all. It did have a provision to place a cleaning rod in a round formed sleeve along the side/edge of the holster. A friend of mine here in Las Vegas has a 4" model. Its nicely made but the leather is thick and still stiff after many years. Not pliable.

Mike you make Holsters?

Ben the Interarms version isn't really what I'd call a true "Luger Holster".

However, the Hardshell Holsters aren't really pliable either. I like the traditional Holster with the Magazine pouch and loading tool pouch under the flap.

Most of these holsters don't have a cleaning rod pouch.

No. As Len Deighton put it, "I'm a let-someone-else-do-it man."

Mike,

So then what "outfit" were you referring to? There was no phone, email address, or website in your posting.

I'm looking for a Hardshell Holster but for a 6" Luger-not the 4" pistol.

I see it now but there's no traditional magazine pouch!

I'd rather have the magazine pouch than the cleaning rod holder.

Does anyone make anything to order?
