Is a quest to have the associated gun holster.
Another thread prompted me to post a side bar to collecting holsters for the guns themselves.
In my case, vintage Milsurps & Duty holsters.
Some were accompanied with the guns I acquired themselves.
Others were unobtanium or at least a price I could justify.
One such, is my WW1 French accepted Ruby, The gun itself was acquired as a forlorn mudpuppy.
Or so I though, rattle can paint hide the 80% original finish and French acceptance * star.
Once the gun was cleaned of the offending coating (which I believe preserved the finish)
It shoots very well, but the intention was to display it in a WW 1 exhibit.
Original holsters tend to be EXPENCIVE and/or rough.
My only real option was to make a replica. and another for my Austrian Steyr which was sewn for me by John Saffern when I had Carpal tunnel. thanks John.
