OPINIONS:Sauer 38H Police Eagle C

No problem Jason, another member approached me with an offer when you declined.

Jason,

what you have is a third variation of the Sauer model H. Made approximately (!) in 1943, but is quiet difficult to give an exact date.

Anyway: If the price is OK, I’d take Denny’s 1941 holster. Don’t focus too much on the date of the holster – they took anything, what was available. For example, I have a 1942 dated Sindel holster which is serialized with 413773 (the holster came with two matching magazines, numbered 773). The holster is at least one year older than the pistol, which probably was made in 1943/44.







Other serialized holsters for the Sauer H, I am aware of:

Serial number…maker…….....…………year

278049 ……....Sindel......................1942
337323..........Sindel......……………….1941
343069………..Schambach & Co..… 1942
354208………..Sindel……………......….1943
395726………..Sindel…………......…….1942
407193………..Schambach & Co.....1942

It is to be emphasized, that these holsters do have the serial number of the pistols stamped in the leather.


You see? So, a 1941 dated Sindel holster will be all right for your pistol.

Martin

Wow! I should have looked up those prices at Collectors Firearms before selling my holster and spare mag. I asked $160 for the holster and $35 for the mag (which was excellent) and took the offer of $175 for the pair.

Denny,

don't worry too much. Asked prices are asked prices. IF (!) somebody will pay the asked price is something completely different. I guess, your price is OK. The other price is much too high.


BTW: The other holster offered on the internet as a Sauer 38/H holster probably isn't a Sauer holster. The size doesn't seem to be correct and also the typical "bump" on the magazine pouch is missing.

Thanks Martin, that sooths my mind.
