"Bautzen" holster on ebay

Navy · 08-24-2002, 09:20 PM

This piece looks highly suspect to me; in fact, it could be the DNA clone of a fake I was sold some years ago....but was on the road and the examination period expired...so I still have it.
In 2 words, Caveat Emptor.

What a POS!! Totally BOGUS. Aside and apart from the artrocious craftmanship, Wa 170 was assigned to Erhart & Kristen and Otto Graf. E.G. Luener was assigned Wa 150.

If you squint your eyes it does look somewhat like a Luger holster, but otherwise nothing else does. The stitching for the top of the belt loops comes all the way through inside, the flap is too short, the cutout in the top of the body is all wrong, and in general the craftsmanship is terrible. Not even a good fake.

This is the most common currently made P08 holster with markings. I see one or two at most gun shows.
