That's right, today at the local gun show, I stumbled apon a treasure of holsters, so many vintage orignal WWI and WWII holsters, it would take your breath away! So right in the middle of this pile was an original WWI Webley Holster, and in GREAT shape! I don't know how hard orignal WWI holsters are to find, except on eBay, but this thing was in wonderful condition. The stitching was in perfect shape, all of the orignal brass fittings were still there. And it only cost me $36 bucks after hangleing it down a bit. So, have a look and tell me what you think! :D

There is of course some wear from being in battle, as one would expect, but other than that, for something that's over 80 years old it's in pretty good shape. :D

I must also note that I found all of Indy's guns minus an accurate S&W. Found a Webley Enfeild (sp?), Browning HP, Colt 1917, but I couldn't find a good S&W Hand Ejector. Still, a fun day at the gun show! :)[/img]

Sneaky little me! :P An exact, non-firing replica. I'm getting a (real) S&W first, then I'll look into a Webley when I get the money. But thanks for noticing! :D

geordie,
Thanks, I got it for $100 bucks a few years ago, worth every penny. Though if I had seen the Webley I found yesterday (only $200) I probably would have gotten it instead.

Render,
Hrm, let me get my list out...

3 phlaq jackets,
300 pack of 30-6 rounds,
1 PAC 30 with 60 rounds,
1 Cut down Ruger auto-shotgun with 20 rounds,
1 H&K MP-5A with detachable silencer and an additional 80 rounds,

That's all, I could spair, I had to keep the .50 cal...

OH! Almost forgot, they were selling these nice Saddam bull's eye targets, very nice must never be without. ;)

After you're done with one of them, scan it and post it here. I wanna see your grouping.
