AMERICAN EAGLE HOLSTER

OK, EVERYBODY CAN SAY HOW STUPID I WAS.

BACK IN THE MID 70'S I BOUGHT A AMERICAN EAGLE HOLSTER FOR THE PRINCELY SUM OF 2.50 IN A PAWN SHOP, YOU'VE SEEN THE BOXES MARKED YOUR CHOICE 2.50 WELL IT WAS IN THE BOX

AT FIRST I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT I HAD UNTIL I WAS LOOKING THROUGH A G&A MAG. AND SAW IT IN AN ARTICLE.

HAD A LOCAL LUGER EXPERT CONFIRM IT.

SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I WENT TO A GUN SHOW AND TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I TRADED IT FOR A 1912 ERFURT IN APPARENTLY GOOD SHAPE (I BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN REBLUED) SERIAL NUMBERS MATCH EXCEPT FOR MAG. #48XX

NOW YOU CAN WRITE BACK AND SAY HOW DUMB I WAS

CHUCK

I am just wondering who made the holster, what makes it distinctive and how does it differ from early commercial holsters? Was it made in the United States or did it come from Germany? Was it brown or black?

IT WAS MADE BY THE ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL DATED 1909

AND WAS BROWN

Bill,

It was a 1900 American Eagle Test Holster made for the 1000 U.S. test Lugers.
