TEST holster on Gunbroker

Jasta2 · 07-29-2011, 10:01 PM

There is a TEST holster now listed on Gunbroker. Sorry I do not have the item number or link. Can I get a opinion if this is a real test holster?
Thank you, Bill

Rougher condition than mine, but it looks authentic in my opinion:

- Fasteners on rear correctly align below bottom of flap
- Stitching looks right
- Leather on inside looks correct - these holsters were made of a soft russet leather

The EHS stamp looks like the correct font, spacing and placement. However, I cannot read the Rock Island Arsenal above it clearly because of the cracking on that area. It is there though.

I learned some tips from Ron Wood and am grateful for him examining mine prior to my purchase...

Listing ended. He has had it listed several times. I corresponded with him during his original listing and asked some questions. He was very pleasant and seemed to know his stuff.

These are rare in any condition.

Thank you,
GB will not let you email the seller on a closed auction, unless you won! Seeing I cannot connect with him, I hope he will relist it at some point.

See if the seller has other listings. If so, then contact him thru those listings.
