SS totenkoph proofed Luger holster!

This just came out of a very old collection. It's a 1936 manufactured holster. As you can see by the photos, the belt loops broke many years ago and were replaced by a single piece of leather. It could have been a wartime repair - the holster had seen almost a decade of service by 1945! In any case, the repair is not what makes the value, it is the SS proof. Any ideas on value? Thanks - Mike

I just scanned through some old posts on this topic, so I will give you some extra info that you will surely want. This holster just came out of an old collection - the guy was collecting "nazi" items as a kid from his father, and his father's vet friends. He stopped collecting before I was even born (1971). A collecting buddy of mine met this guy years ago and has worked on him ever since to buy his collection. He finally gave in and sold it to my friend. There was LOTS of great stuff in there, but I zeroed in on the holster and got it. Not sure if I want to keep it now or sell it. Thanks - Mike
