Best Artillery Holster and stock Reproduction ?

The CMR holster is more expensive than the Sarco because it is better quality. The CMR is still not as good as an original.

The Interordinance and Numric holsters are basically the same as Sarco.

You probably can touch up a reproduction holster with shoe polish and add a few scratches to make it look more like the condition of the Luger you are displaying it with. I do not know of anyone that provides this "antiquing" service but you probably can do an adequate job yourself.

Jerry can do just about anything that is needed with an original holster, but he needs to know specifics to provide estimates.

Do not use Pecards. It is actually a waterproofing compound and not a true leather preservative. It can get gummy and under certain conditions turns to a white residue on the surface of the holster that looks like mold and must be periodically cleaned off. Connely Hide Food is very good but sometimes difficult to find.

An original holster and stock with all attachments could cost anywhere from $1400 for a decent example to well over $2000 for a nice one.
