AKHA-Made Swiss Holster...

Pete Ebbink · 01-14-2008, 05:22 PM

This holster ran on eBay in the past few weeks. I thought to bid but was not comfortable with a German AKHA stamping on a Swiss holster...figured it might have had its strap replaced with a German part at some point in time...

So I decided not to go after it.

So...today I see an eBay offering from "teddymags" for an old AKHA catalog from the 1910's or so...and low and behold...not only is a Swiss-style AKHA holster shown but even Navy-style holsters...for the commercial market...

I wish now I would have won the holster on eBay...

Here is the eBay catalog on auction :
