What next?

Simpson's have come up with a ton of restored Lugers lately, and now they have a repro Dutch KNIL holster http://www.simpsonltd.com/product_in...oducts_id=3094 . I wonder who is making these holsters?

It's nice to see a repro KNIL show up. Hope a few more are available...since most of us will need to wait for some time for real, nice ones to show up.

Hope they do not smell like Yak, though...

There is at least no question about this sample being period-correct...

They must have bought a large collection of "restored" guns, because there is a slew of them on Simpson's right now ?

I can't find the repro holster, the link takes me to a Vickers Luger.

lew1 · 10-10-2005, 06:14 PM

The description with the Vickers luger refers to the reproduction holster.

Lew, I see that but where are the holsters coming from, apparently Simpson's don't have them for sale.

Simpson's only has two photo's of this repro holster but from what little I can see it has not much similarity to the three KNIL holster's I recently examined. Not even close.
If anyone comes up with one of these repro's I will pay postage both ways for a chance to look at it closely.
