wwme holster

Indiana Wayne · Post by **Indiana Wayne** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 2:01 pm

I am thinking of buying a wwme webley holster, an I would like to know if it is a good holster. I bought medals from there, but thats it. I would like to know if the holster is dark like the picture, and is it soft or stiff?

Thanks, Indiana Wayne.

I don't think I've ever heard them mentioned around here.

Interesting...too bad the pic isn't larger. It looks like the leather has a different color backing than the IMA and Sportsman's Guide version...a bit cheaper, too, like the Swords Of Honor price.

But it looks like a thinner leather...take a look. Links for both the left- and right-handed versions:

EDIT: P.S., they also sell a matching ammo pouch. Too bad Indy didn't wear one, this seems like a good source.

It works if you paste the text. Well... "works".

Yeah, but you have to do it a lot because the maximum word amount is 150.

That's odd... I got the whole text to work.

Fascinating. It said that the maximum is 150. Here it is:

These counterparts were carried out in a leather of great quality by Chris King. [ the history of MBA ] to note: Versions presented Ci-desous were patinated after purchase. The version "Raiders" is a little too clear and orange, whether it is at MBA or Lee Keppler. The form of the holster for Webley is appropriate better for "the Which cursed Temple".

It's made out of brown leather chocolate??? That's it, I'm ordering those for Easter.

VP - Thanks for the translation. That one is actually close enough to be useful - thanks!

Still, giggle-worthy...Raiders Of The Lost Arch...hehehehe...not sure if that's a reference to his Alden's giving out or an adventure for a last cache of prototype McDonald's Happy Meal toys...

That is an interesting collection of available holsters someone put together. Neat find! Thanks, Graal!
