Worth repairing?

hayhugh · 07-09-2014, 11:30 AM

Received this holster with a luger I just purchased. Would it be worth the money to have it repaired?

Most definitely YES. Contact Jerry Burney (lugerholsterrepair)

Yes. Looks like all it needs is the closing strap repaired. Contact Jerry Burney (lugerholsterrepair). He is the only one I would let repair it. Bill

Hugh..If this holster's not worth repairing none of em are! Like Bill says all I can spot is a closure strap. Beautiful otherwise. A little cleaning, a light coat of lanolin and a new closure. It's beautifully marked, nice color..no GI graffitti or other blems. Repairs with shipping both ways would likely run around $55. IMO cheap to restore such a beautiful Luger holster. I got all the work I can stand so I never ask for any but this one's a nice holster.

Jerry, I will put it in the mail tomorrow. After reconditioning, could you give an approximant value? Hugh

Hugh..I look at holsters every day of course! Ebay has been pretty strong..especially for excellent condition holsters like this. Good color and markings are a real plus. Conservatively $350 but I have seen less go for $450.
