Opinion on a Gunbroker Item

George Anderson · 01-12-2010, 08:08 AM

The holster appears to be original but the markings on the holster are bogus. The stock is not original nor are the shoulder strap or mag pouch. The stock attaching leather may be original but the photos of those parts are inadequate.

George, thanks for your opinion. I believe you, but for the sake of learning, is is the date ( 1920) or the "C . Billep" manufacturer thing that makes you think the markings are bogus- thanks Michael

Hi, C. Billep, Spandau, is a listed holster maker. That fact, of course, does not make this rig genuine. Regards

Location of marking is wrong, never seen a 1920 stamp in the holster, only the stock or gun. Crown/S mark was reserved for weapons not leather.
