    Browning Hi Power Holster

    I would like to get a value and opinion on this holster that I have. Shows use but no holes and all stitching is intact. It is faintly waA marked as well. Name written on inner flap. Can anyone decipher it?Does everything look correct and period? Reportedly it contained a Polish Radom (German marked), is it possible? What would be a fair price to ask for it? And finally are these quite common? Thanks all in advance

      Browning High Power Holster

      Hello,

      Just from the outside it looks good to me. I have two and it matches both of them. If you can show pictures of the Waffenampt and the Name it would help alot.

      Value wise, its hard to say. It depends on where you live and what the demand is for them. I have seen them go as low as $125 and as high as $200. So somewhere in the middle would not be tha far out.

      I'll let some of the experts venture into that A little bit more.

          Perhaps these holsters are harder to find in Canada? but here in the States, they are very common. Judging by condition of this one, I would say $75 tops on it! You can get mint Browning holsters for $100-$125 still, and I've seen good ones for $50-$60 like this still.

            High Power Holsters

            Have to agree with Matt on this one. I've paid from $50 to $85 for these in condition ranging from well used to near unissued.

            Two factors decrease the value somewhat on this one. The staining on the reverse (can you tell what this might be?) and the fact that it has only the WaAmt which is lightly stamped (and apparently in an odd location) but no stamping to show maker code and year of manufacture.

            But the fact it came home with A Radom is not unusual at all. Both the Germans and Americans shoved them into whatever would hold them during the war and after.

            Good collecting!

              Thanks Gentlemen for the great information. Holster is not stained at all, just scuffed up a bit and needs a cleaning. I'll leave it as is, take care and thanks again

                Amazing prices

                Hello,

                I would just like to say that I want to come and live where you guys live. After all of the gun laws that we went through, alot of the stuff was destroyed so there is a pretty high demand for it.

                  Hp Holster

                  Hey Joe:
                  Looking at the markings your holster was made in 41 or 42.The maker was Karl Bocker and located in Waldbrohl.See if you can make out EPF BRNG anywhere on it?
                  It seems the WaA195 was used on lots of things, but places the HP holster to this individual.
                  Regards Danny

                    Cam,

                    They didn't ban holsters too did they? You can still get these! If you would like to purchase a minty Hi-Power holster, just let me know, and I'll send you info on where to get one!

                      Thanks again Gentlemen! And thank you Danny for the great informationa s well. I will try and clean this up gently.

                      Matt, Cam is absolutely right regarding firearms, and with many firearms go their accessories such as holsters and mags. We often have to buy them overseas or it the US. But it is no fun having an empty holster Luckily there are some of us who can own restricted firearms (such as the P38/Browning Hi Power, ect), and a very small amount can own what are considered prohibited firearms (such as Lugers, I thankfully can own these).

                      A bit off topic. I buy as many collectable Lugers as I can afford, and try to hold onto them. There are many Canadian dealers that have made a small fortune buying Lugers here (they don't command the same price in the US thanks to the prohib status),and shipping them to the US to sell for a great profit. If not a collectable, they are stripped as parts and sold in bits and pieces. As the son of a vet who brought one of these treasures home, with no disrespect to our US family and friends, I would prefer to see these stay in Canada, as they can never return to our borders once gone. I believe the Lugers brought home from both world wars by our fathers and grandfathers are priceless and a true representation of what we went to battle for. Just ranting, thanks for listening

                        Holsters

                        Hello,

                        Thanks for the offer on the Holster but I was lucky to get a nice one with my High Power. I am looking for a Luftwaffe Drop Holster for a Browning 1922 if you have one.

                        The problem was not banning the Guns or the Holster. It was when The widow of the vet or the vets children who new nothing about the history or the laws tried to deal with it. The police would say bring EVERYTHING in even if it had nothing to do with the firearm. (Ie. Holsters, Capture Doc's) From here it was a short trip to the smelters and the rest would be disposed of.

                        Also when a family does sell a pistol to a dealer, often the dealer, not knowing anything about the history would just take the pistol and not the holster, Because they think that a Sixty year old piece of leather is garbage.

                        Anyways thanks again for the offer.

                        Cam
