    Astra 300 and a shrunken holster

    Open to suggestions.

    I just recently acquired a 98-99% Astra that's beautiful naturally I wanted a nice holster for it. I found a militeria place online that had an original WaA101 waffenamt marked holster dated 1943 that appeared unissued. I tried the pistol in it yesterday and it's like trying to put a size 10 foot in a size 8 shoe. The leather has shrunk over the years and the fact no pistol has ever been in it does not help.

    I'm open to suggestions, any and all are appreciated!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
