Luger holster questions

Good Ol' Boy · 08-04-2013, 05:45 PM

So, I am a long time reader, first time poster. I like Lugers, and I come here occasionally to find information. Great forum.

Well, onto my question. I got this holster when I bought a Ruger Standard. The pistol came in this holster. I knew it was a Luger holster, but I did not know much about it.

I learned it was Imperial German, and it was made by Oberpf Sattler-Lieferungs-Verband in Regensburg.

Well, the more you can tell me about my holster, the better. It looks like the cinch strap on the flap was repaired, and it was dyed black for WWII.

Here are some pictures:

I would like to sell it, and if you could tell me an approximate value, that would be great.

Just as added information, the pullup strap is also broken on this holster.

One of our members here, Jerry Burney, is an expert in restoration of holsters. If you want to repair and restore it, get in touch with him.

I think $100-$125 as is

the pull up strap can be fixed, the tie down strap coukld be replaced, but the other holes would always remain

Thank you gents! At $100, I'll just keep it. Nice piece of history.

That's what I'd do. Consider also sending it to Jerry Burney for repairs and facelift. I'd rather have a few extra stitch holes showing than a strap that's an obvious aberration. It will never be original again, but with some repair, it will be returned to original configuration. It looks in fairly good shape otherwise!

And considering that the original stitch holes are outside the current strap, Jerry might be able to repair this with no additional holes showing on the front, at least.
