Which LP08 Holster to Choose?

rayman1 · 11-17-2007, 08:30 PM

Guys, I'm very much a novice still and trying to put a decent rig set-up together for a display soon. I've got the loading tool, 1st Model snail drum w/dust cover, a full German 1918-dated box of WWI 9mm rounds, and some other accessories. I also have two Artillery Luger holster rigs (both I believe reproductions) but I'm trying to decide which one looks more original to go with a 1914 Erfurt LP08.

My main goal is to choose the more original-looking buttstock, holster, and holster/buttstock boot (they're both a little different, too). Hope these photos can help as they were too large to be uploaded right to the post - I can take more and better ones, if need be:

Hi Chris,

I would go with the top one, with the darker leather. It looks more original than the lighter one.

I kind of thought so, too, but the bottom one has an ammo pouch that matches it. I wasn't sure which stockboard looks better, either.

Hi,

Just move parts of both around to see if you can come up with one you're satisfied with.

Judging from the colors, I think the bottom holster would match the top stock, flap and toe pretty well.

That's the kind of info I was looking for. You guys have a lot more knowledge about what looks best - I appreciate all the help you can give.
