Another rare item that at one time was quite common.

Hi Kubur.
I almost wish you had not started this Thread. It reminds me that I still need two of these Kuburluks for my collection. Sadly, all I have is my custom made replica for field use. Which works fine for that purpose. But I need one for two pistols, and another for a single pistol. But when they do come up for sale the sellers tend to price them very expensive. Actually, the Kuburluks for a single pistol are much harder to locate. Great photos above. Thanks for starting this Thread. Can't wait till you post photos of yours. Rick. |

Hi Guys,
I'm so happy to see that i' not the only one to be excited by this topic! Thanks for the photos, more infos for our database. Question: some kuburluk are closed at the base, is it to protect them from the dust? |

Crimean War period Turkish senior officer’s saddle pommel holster. This was originally one of a matching pair that buckled, on either side of the saddle pommel, with a sheepskin cover. As well, could be straped to the cross-belt. Dress-holsters such as these continued to be used, well into the 1908. Ottoman saddle holsters for flint lock pistols, circa 1840, superbly cast and chased gilt bronze mounts with the high raised relief seal representing the Ottoman Empire, crescent moons and star of David. Perhaps the ones the enclosed kuberluk are copying this style. |

Actually we can make a distinction between 2 types of holsters. One is for the men, the other is for the horses (or camels!). Bellow are photos showing how they were placed on the saddle.

Maybe a thread on firearms related accessories is needed (ramrods, powder flasks, bullet molds, lead ladles etc).

Many of these look Very European in styling.(18th C) Only differing in decoration, plus English /European holsters were only really used when mounted, not carried on the person as far as I am aware.
Very nice to see and thanks for all the photos! |

That's very pretty embroidery work, Kabur!
Still in very nice order. Now, what have you to put in them to show us? |

This painting is certainly not a realistic one! Western painters often painted without traveling to the foreign lands. They would buy exotic oriental weapons and dress from travelers or shops , and put them on models, without knowing the way (and quantity) that was used.

Been away from the Forum for a while. Too many year end business meetings, shopping, parties, etc. Whew!! As per your quote above.....No need to go to all that trouble. Just send the Kuburluks to me. I have a variety of pistols that will fit. Save you the trouble. LOL!!! ![]() Seriously, those holsters look great. The Moroccan pattern you don't often see. The Ottoman holster looks to be in super condition. Is that the matching shoulder strap ? You asked a question earlier about closed vs open muzzle ends on these holsters. The closed ends would offer more weather protection, but would likely be made for a more specific length of barrel. Could be the closed end holsters were made at the same time an order for the the pistols were made, so an exact fit. The open end holsters had the advantage of accepting almost any length of barrel. That's how I view them. Everyone: Thanks for all the GREAT photos above. Wonderful examples. I do have a lead for a Kuburluk for a single pistol. I'm going to see if I can secure it for a reasonable price. If I'm successful, I'll post photos here. Meantime, all I have is my useable replica. ![]() Rick. |
