Inherited a plated Luger - what do I have? - Page 2

Roy, Your holster has not been molested..Condition is a tad marginal..undone stitching holding the top to the hinge..weak looking magazine pouch towards the bottom. Could use some dye and conditioning to dress it up. Has some good positives too..Leather is not cracked, has a good pull-up and closure strap, belt loops look OK. would say Ed's estimate is right on the money. As is $200-225 Restored.. might hit $300. He has a pretty good feel for the holster market.

Thanks, I see your point. I used to be into 60's American made cars & it's just like when guys would take a modified GTO or Camaro SS & spend the time & money to restore it back to original condition with original parts.
