Shoulder Holster

[lugerholsterrepair]

John, Thanks for the thumbnail bio...It is right as you say, The mag pouch is slanted for the Luger magazine. I guess the designers could have reasoned that the magazine would be easier to remove without the cutout. Another thing I do not fully understand is the date stamp on your 1936 holster. There is a slight box around the left of the date stamp. This is quite unusual for date stamps. I do appreciate your offer again John of a personal inspection but it is fairly expensive to ship back and forth with insurance etc. and I am not a holster expert, just a student. There are certain facets of holster construction that are very interesting to me, such as thread tie-offs, types and thicknesses of thread and how metal parts are attached. All of which tell a story of the era they were applied. Of course there was the standard military way of doing things and the other markets varied some. I would not want to risk what appears to be a very fine and original holster for my idle curiosity.. I will ask you this however, what is wrong with the lifting strap on the holster you use as a prop in your first photograph? Or is that just a blemish? Thanks , Jerry
