Shoulder Holster

Hi Jerry..!

Thanks for the response... OK - what I know is that when I bought this RIG, that the holster is documented as being "as it was brought back". That being said - and given GI's propensity for shoulder holsters - it appears to be as original (I am the second owner from the VET). Anyway - if you look at the angle of the magazine cut-out - it follows the lines of the Luger mag angle, rather then other mags I have tried to "insert" (P-38, BHP, etc.). Also, it is interesting that where the mag would "ride" - there is discoloration where the Mag round bottom would ride (a definate "0" outline). Also - all the stitching matches, so the holster appears to be constructed at the same time (The mag pouch wasn't "added on" at a later time, that I can tell..?)

As well - the hardware is to the period, correct as well. As is the Digit Stamps for the date and the LWaA2 stamp.

However - all THAT SAID!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] You are more then welcomed to take a look in person (I'll send it down to you!!) and give me your thoughts/impressions..!! It's what this forum and collecting is all about!!!

Best to you Jerry..!!!
