WW1 Holster

Post by PeterN2 » Fri Jun 20, 2008 3:56 pm

A chap at the club has been having a tidy up and asked if I wanted this. I said I would have it and when I asked how much he wanted for it, he said I could have it for nowt. My kind of price.

That's my kind of price - being a Yorkshireman :razz:

Congratulations - A very nice War-time dated Sam Browne holster with the ghost of the marks left by a large frame revolver, and buckshee too?

Why I can never find kit at that sort of price? :mrgreen:

It's a pity that the political vermin won't allow us to own what should fill it, anymore. :mad:

Thanks for the comments.I kept my Webley Mk VI as a section 7/1 collector item and recently got a Colt New Service to go with it. I wish I could take them to the range though :(

So you have the revolver which I assume from the comments is in full working order but you can't shoot it - is that right Peter? If that is the case you should be able to own an A bomb as long as you don't drop it!!! :roll:

good looking holster with a good price sad about the revolvers fine guns need to be taken out and fired every so often.
