Navy Holster Rig...

[Pete Ebbink]

Too bad that folks out there on e-Bay will still not make an educational investment in joing such Internet boards as the Luger Forum, Jan's Gun Board, or even the new, member-only, NAPCA web site.

The auction sales ad did claim all items to be "in all original condition"...so maybe the buyer will have some recourse once the package arrives. Here is the text from the ad :

" WWI Luger U-Boat Navy Holster / Stock Rig with straps and cleaning rod. This is a rare 1906 Navy Luger Stock and Holster Rig in all original condition. It comes complete with Navy Rod, mag pouch and shoulder straps. Excellent condition. Serial is 6460 on iron. Disc insert is W.D.221 marked.Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! "

Curious...if one buys one of those new replica handguns Uberti makes in Italy...one can claim all the parts on this replica gun are "in all original condition"...maybe the term used is a bit misleading...???

On a lighter side, did you notice the seller "Katherine" has a bad case of "man hands"...as the term was made popular on one of the Jerry Seinfeld episodes..?





Here is another photo from the MN e-Bay seller...with similar exposed man hand...
