Holster for sale on craigslist

ripcord810 · 07-21-2012, 02:27 PM

Add reads: "Authentic WWII Holster for German Lugar pistol. This includes the belt and the shoulder strap that goes diagonally over the shoulder to support the holster. The leather is in excllent condition. The buckle is loose from the base holster (see pics) but is otherwise all there, it only need to be riveted back down by someone with those skills. It also has storage on the front edge for an additional magazine. Asking $225.00 cash or best reasonable offer" Any thoughts on this one?

Its the bulgarian style, they are sold on ebay and many folks say they are new made and made to look older.

not something to spend over $40-$60 IMHO

and looking at it a second time, even less

Bulgarian, like Ed said. I have a similar rig I picked up several years ago for under $100. I got it to use at the range.
My holster is a little different style and is newer manufacture.

That rig looks better made, particularly the holster, and may actually be "old" although not old enough to be worth $225 imho.

it only need to be riveted back down by someone with those skills. Not worth the effort. The cost to re attach this metal plate would be more than the holster is worth. This whole thing is a pile of leather scrap.
