Quality "repro" or original Navy holster 1916

drbuster · 04-04-2010, 04:30 PM

On SimpsonLTD's website is this "Navy" holster that is listed as a "quality repro" at $495. A steep price for a repro, or is it? I have come across an identical holster and have posted photos below for opinions.

A nice looking Navy Luger TYPE holster, but I think $495 is way out of line as a price. It is a modern reproduction.

Here is a modern repro for about 10% of that money... It doesn't look bad, and appears to be very serviceable... Looks sort of like a Portuguese Navy to me... but if you need leather to transport your Navy Shooter... this might be the answer:

I have no affiliation with the seller and do not own this holster, I had just seen it on ebay a couple of times...

Photos appear to be one of CMR quality repros from England. TH
