value of these belt gun holsers? german and british

[brataccas]

Hi, recently spoke to a farmer and bought these lot of belt gun holsters, Any idea how much all of them are worth? I paid only £5 for all of them which is a bargain I think. UK one is revolver one I assume which is 1943 dated, german one with the soldiers name printed "reinor pleiffer" or something, theres serial "754 135" on the belt also,

and 3 black belt holsters im currently selling on ebay, they look like trash.

The belt buckle and holster are post war Bundeswehr but £5 for the lot bargain

Hi mate,
I cant speak about the leather holsters, but you certainly have a very nice looking 1943 dated, British 37ptn web pistol holster.
From what I can see in the two photos, it looks to be in a very nice, clean condition. Value wise, you are looking at anything up to about £15GBP

Also, Im not sure, but the leather belt looks to be ex-East/West German (Post war)

Agreed - 5 Pounds is a real bargain for the entire lot.

The US web 'pistol belt' is a repro. ( Besides it
being too flimsy looking, it says 'TAIWAN'
on the fastener.........! )

well spotted never noticed that, is the actual 1943 gun holster itself from ww2 and the belt is just repro?

Indeed, as Ian has said - a nice original British 37ptn.........

@brataccas: Short answer...Yes and Yes! The belt was a common repro in the late 1970s>1980s and is still common along with US "type" plastic waterbottles, usually in a thin cotton carrier.


@WalkWolf... I should have spotted the "iffy" belt Steve, I've got one tucked away in a box somewhere, my excuse - I was concentrating on the pistol holster!
