Bulgarian Holster

Edward Tinker · 03-15-2003, 09:54 PM

Well, this holster was one I bought off of e-bay (e and U-pay) a couple of weeks ago. Happy with it and the belt, price was fine, but my Luger(s) won't fit!
So, is it really for a hi-power or what?

I will ask the seller why a Luger doesn't fit...

Does anyone have an idea of what it would fit?

Its a Bulgarian for a Browning M1910, judging from its appearance. Really crapola leather.

Ed, Your holster is same design as the pre-WW2 PO8 Bugarian holster, but for a smaller 32acp sized gun. Yours is the first that I've seen of this style, but I do have a couple the same sized, but of the WW2 style with the closure stud on the body and a closure strap that come around from the left edge. If you want a mate to go with yours, just let me know. Tom H.

Thanks Tom, looking for a Luger sized one, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

(and after I get back from being out of town, 2 weeks, I'll order that one part).

Ed, This is made in the style of the Bulgarian P-08 holster but the nose is much too wide. This is indicative of the Browning 1910 as Tom indicates. The Bulgarian P-08 is long and slim where the barell is. There is a photo of a Bulgarian P-08 holster in Benders Book,Military Holsters of WW2 on page 27. Jerry Burney
