Anybody out there have an idea as to the value, of a nice pigskin 1887 Swede Revolver holster?
I don't have a clue. Inquiring for a friend. There is one on e-pay with a starting bid of $150. Sounds a bit steep.

Thanks, Ron

Ron,

The M/87 revolver holster is quite rare. The holster for the pistol M/07(Nagant or Husqvarna)is very common. The starting bid is marketable.

Here is a Swedish revolver holster I found at a local surplus shop some years ago. It is very well made of soft leather. Is this an officers holster?

Dean,
Yes, this is an officer's holster.
It should be lined inside with velvet.
Is the clasp plain or ornamented?

Heinrich,
The clasp is plain. It has blue velvet lining and the markings of a "K", a Crown and an "8" on the leather flap around the clasp.

Dean,
the Swedish Army list of 1923 shows 2 clasps without
coat of arms:
Jämtland fältjäg.reg. (Courier?- Regiment) and
Norrlands dragonreg. (Dragoon- regiment)
All other regiments had coined clasps with symbols.

Jämland and Norrlands are Swedisch districts.
The "K" "8" I guess is a unit mark, to be identified by a Swedish expert.
I think the officer's holsters are very rare, particularly in Europe and I think also in USA.
May be that it is more common in Sweden.
I could acquire 2 of them in more than 30 years of collecting.
