Beautiful holster rejuvination

saxthorpe · 11-15-2009, 11:11 AM

Per a recommendation from the Luger Forum, I sent an old and mistreated Luger holster to Jerry Burney
(lugerholsterrepair@earthlink.net) for cleaning and rejuvination. Wow! What a beautiful job he did, and quite inexpensive, too. Although it retains the patina of more than a half century, it appears as if still ready to serve with the German army. Before and after photos are attached. Thank you, Jerry!

I just received back a 1913 holster I sent to Jerry for repair and his work was nothing less than stunning, and fast. He is a true artisan and an invaluable resource to collectors.

If you havn't used Jerry's services yet and you need holster work ,do it. You will be amazed and very happy. The only problem being we expect perfection from him and that's difficult to maintain. However he hasn't failed me yet. Nice guy too, ( for a Bluebird. ) Bill

I too am one of Jerry's customers, that has nothing but good to say about the work he did on my holster. It is simply beautiful.

Snowbird, bluebird I'm old and allowed to make very occassional errors. I try to hold them to under one per hour. Bill

I'd like to add my voice to those singing Jerry's praises. He just returned two Ehrhardt holsters (a two tone 1937 and a dark brown 1939) that needed work. I am more than pleased with the job and you can't beat the service! Regards, Norm
