-Acquired a decent Glisenti 1910 pistol many years ago as a "parts gun" at auction. Upon arrival I found the only parts it needed were a pin, grip and magazine. I fab'd the pin and installed repop grips and magazine. Over time I've sourced original grips and magazine.
-The one thing I really wanted was a holster but this puppy proved very elusive. More than a decade passed before I ran across a holster in Italy. It wasn't cheap @ $350 but it was complete and in VG condition. So I pulled on my Big Boy Pants and plunked down the cash.
-After 3 weeks of sweating over the dis-functional Italian and US postal services it arrived intact. Actually in much better condition than the seller's photos showed. Love that the original dark olive green color still shows well.
-So the last item on the punch list is a lanyard. Somebody in Italy makes a replica, that might be my only recourse as I've never seen an original offered for sale.
