Ersatz Holsters

G.T. · 10-30-2001, 05:33 PM

I don't know about full sized weapon holsters, but smaller holsters, pp, ppk, etc. had paper holsters that looked very close to the original leather! I think the material that was substituted for the leather was a paper type material with a thin leather top layer (and possibly a leather bottom layer also, with paper sandwiched in between!) and was sewen and glued same as leather. It was a leather substitute and I would think all else would remain the same....The ones I have seen all had a strange orange or orange/brown color...but, I have seen but a few, and was not interested in them enough to look close....till...later...G.T.
