1939 Karl bocker navy proofed

Cheesy411 · 10-02-2013, 11:54 PM

Hey everyone

Well I arrived back home after a tdy from Corpus Christi to see that my navy proofed Karl bocker holster had it to the house. I bought this from a guy on the still forum, it is properly marked, but the naval proof is a light stamp I knew what I was buying. Stitching looks good, looks to be all original. I kinda bought this on impulse so I hope I did good. I think I did anyways. What do you guys use to protect the leather? And I know never to leave the pistol in the holster. Now I have a proper holster for my 1940 navy. Pics are on the way

Denis..a very interesting holster! No/very little slant to the belt loops! You don't see that very often on an original holster.

Cheesy, Nice one! If it were mine I would carefully spot dye it and a light coat of lanolin. Put a wooden mag in the magazine pouch and a leather spacer in the belt loops to keep it all in beautiful shape. Nice holster.

Spot dye? Where would I get that from? Thanks for the compliments
