Probably one of the rarest holsters around. When it was bought it had been in a bank safe deposit box for about 30 years. The leather had dried out to the extent that just touching it removed leather. Most of the original glaze was gone off the leather, and the leather fibers just rubbed off it. It was kept in a towel, but any time the towel was unwrapped it was covered in the leather fibers. It was given several treatments of Pecards ALD, and while it did nothing to restore it, it did stop the leather from just rubbing off on anything it touched, and is not stabilized.

The pistol and rig belongs to a good friend, and he bought it before I had a digital camera, so no before pictures. If you look on page 29 of Luger: The Multi-National Pistol you can see the same type holster minus the stock board, and it is virtually the same condition.
