This guy has been trying to sell this for 4 years. What a great price. He will take gold and silver. Check out the comments at bottom for a good laugh.

Don't forget the "layaway plan at your terms" haha

I would go for it, but the pull-up strap on the holster is missing and replacing it would just ruin the whole originally of the rig. Sorry..........

"Combat Chromed", What a hoot....

I have to say..he's one heck of a photographer..Hugh, you buy that thing and I will install a pull-up Hitler would swear was original to that holster. FREE.

A pull-up made from the elastic from an old jock strap would be an upgrade for the rig.

The photos look like sepia. Must have used a box Brownie

I'm pretty sure it came from this experimental German submarine...

But, gentlemen, the man says it's "real". And the number of exclamation points must mean that it is.

I like this statement:

"Did you know that the Germans were the very first to come up with 24 different colors of this zinc chromate coating and used it on aircraft parts and their submarines years before the US military did? And use it they did-look it up for yourself-please!"

That listing has to be an elaborate joke because the alternative is just too sad to imagine.

rhuff · 11-24-2020, 03:01 PM

The seller is just sure there is ONE idiot out there that will bite and purchase this "treasure".

Of course it is real, do the drop test.
Drop it on a bare toe, if it hurts- it's real!
