All,
As an example, I have in my collection a nice voegels holster with a Heer cap eagle inserted through the bucket and a braided leather tie-down thong through a neat hole made in the bottom edge of the barrel. Inscribed very neatly in blue ink and a fine hand "Taken from a German officer, Worms Germany (Date)" and signed by the NCO who brought it back. To me, this is a bona fide artifact of American Military history and it has equal significance and historic value to any minty military holster. My dad said he and most of his mates did this as a matter of routine as they blazed across Europe with that wild man, Georgie Patton. Seems to me, these holsters should be considered as sacred relics of the last Great Crusade, monetary value not being a part of the picture.

My zwei pfennigs.
