Hello Evren,
Yes, your nice holster is now part of my holster collection - I am very happy to have two Turkish Artillery Holsters.

Cheers,
Mauro

I appreciate a glimpse of a different holster design, one that is not as clunky looking as the classic P.08 hardshell. I'll ask what the texture/hardness of the leather is with these two Turks; it appears softer than the German standard?

Since an accomplished leather worker lives on premesis, I'm going to have him make one for me, so I'm always grateful for photographs of these variations in design, as inspirations for the eventual project of creating a custom holster for my own LP.08.
