jeremy69 Posted October 22, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 22, 2019 Hello, anyone know of someone who is good at M6 scabbard repair? I bought a nice Barwood that is missing an inch of leather on the side of the belt slit. Seems like someone with skill and a stock of old leather bits could graft a piece in and make it presentable. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccyooper Posted October 22, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 22, 2019 Did it have a wire connecting it? If so, not sure why it was removed but that scabbard looked like it was used with a knuckle knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy69 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted October 22, 2019 Yeah, thats the one. Been after a Barwood for a long time and this one was nice otherwise. I rolled the dice on being able to fix it. If I cant find anybody Ill look for a donor piece of leather and give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill in VA Posted October 23, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 23, 2019 Contact Jerry Burney on the Luger forums. I’ve used him to restore a couple of Imperial German holsters. He’s excellent at leather repairs, and very reasonably priced. Jerry Burney 636 Scenic Lane Howard, CO 81233[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted October 23, 2019 Share #5 Posted October 23, 2019 Certainly yours to do with as you see fit, but may want to leave it as-is, if value is of interest to you. IMHO, an original M6 will always be worth more than one that has been messed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy69 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted October 23, 2019 I generally agree to not mess with a item, but specifically bought this with the intention of repairing it. Maybe this will be the first and last time. Got it cheap enough that I wont get hurt much. Ill try the Luger guy. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
