Mystery Navy Rig...

lugerholsterrepair · 01-06-2013, 08:58 PM

Norm, I wouldn't touch any of this rig with a ten foot pole. It's hinky from start to finish. Bubba has attacked this thing with a vengeance. If I had time I would point out the first half dozen reasons. shoulder straps appear to be of the period..Not of any period I am familiar with.

I cannot see the holster's back or inside enough to determine what's what there. I know that if I find one flag saying mine field I am cautious and a half dozen flags make me back away slowly. Nothing about this is right IMO but if anyone else has a different opinion I would love to hear it.

Hi Jerry,
Don Rousseau,Luger collector,researcher and expert who with
Tom Knox and John Pearson helped prepare the Imperial Navy
Section of Jan Stills Imperial Lugers.
Don also helped in Stills Central Powers,Axis Pistols and Third
Riech Lugers.

Don Rousseau personally looked at this Navy Rig 13 years ago
and said it was unique and "right as rain".
