Quote from: Rube Burrows on Today at 11:11:53 AMThat is pretty awesome to have.

You know, I think the only logical thing for me to do about this holster is to find myself a Colt or S&W Model 1917.

That is a symptom of "gunaholicism"... yep you got it 

I have my S&W Model 1917, one day I'll add a Colt 1917.

I do have a Lettered Colt Commando from WW2 era.
And the Lettered Colt Police Positive w/ the Cop that carrying it in the 1930's .

I'm a Gunaholic and a gear-head love that Indian MC

TK, welcome to the brotherhood of Veterans.

Quote from: Marshal Will Wingam on Today at 11:34:16 AMIf you shoot it, please let us know how it does.
The letter is well worth it. That shows provenance for the piece. It's always nice to see where it went originally. It also increases the value of the piece if you go to sell it.

I am definitely planning to shoot it and likely will make a video for youtube.

I will do the letter also.

Quote from: Rube Burrows on March 18, 2025, 12:12:22 PMYeah, they are very nice to hold on too. I hope the 78 shoots good.

If you shoot it, please let us know how it does.

Quote from: Rube Burrows on Yesterday at 08:39:13 AMI think I will. I have never got one lettered. I have only had one real Colt before these and didn't have it long enough to letter it. I think I will get these lettered.

Quote from: Major 2 on Today at 09:46:19 AMThat is so very COOL, I've heard of notes found in the butt of Rifles.

I have letter obtained with an Erfurt (1917) Luger P08.
It authenticates where the Luger was found.
The letter states it was recovered (found) Aug. 23 in Falaise (France) in a destroyed stone building and by whom.

This holster has been with the gun since 1944.
