P.08 Shoulder Holster

TH,

Do you mean AKAH? Albrecht Kindt (sp?) made many, as well. All German shoulder holsters I've encountered gave the appearance of being constructed to wear beneath outer garments, as opposed to ours, which are usually worn exposed. Considering the delicate nature of the Luger, I guess that isn't surprising. Most of the German models that I find anymore were made post-war for the occupation forces with the 1911A1. Wish we'd had this forum thirty years ago, when the guys from the big war were still alive and lucid. Over the years I've gotten to know some of the bigger dealers (both good and bad) and it's fun to bring something to a show that they've never seen before, or else have seen few of. Scott Meadows is a great resource and a sound researcher, wish he'd do something on the subject. As always, thanks for any info.
