Thanks

Fine weapon you got there lithgow, with the original ctg. carton, the .38/200 ctgs, the canvas holster and all... Is the cleaning rod original to the holster?
@ Miaharry, i have far-relatives living in Bundaberg, Queensland.

Thanos-the cleaning rod and holster were bought at different times from the same source-both "brand new" after over 65 yrs but it is now a set-I will get a matching P37 webbing ammo pouch as well when I can but its a problem deciding when to stop getting all the possible bits of kit!
