Does anyone knows, what kind of machine this is?

This is all the info I could get by looking at it, it had no other marks.

I'm wondering, is it propriate for sewing leather knife sheats?

What are the prices for this machine, if it's in working conditions?

 

I think it's this one, from the picture:

its a sewing machine *kidding*

Yes, it is a leather sewing machine with bottom feed and jump foot system. It has reverse. You can turn the jump foot on and off by removing / inserting a screw on the right side of the presser foot holder. Stitch length is approx 5-6mm. Jump foot only works in forward sewing but not backwards. It can sew approx 10-12mm thick materials but jump foot needs approx 2mm for it´s movement (jumping back after the stitch).

Seems this is the machine - have you bought it? Price appears a bit high.

Motor seems to be a Quick Rotan (not 100% sure) - hope it is still functional.

Are any accessories (feet or sewing guides) included?

Thank you for your reply!

 

Nope, I haven't bought it, but a friend of mine has it. He didn't mention, how much he paid for it, but as much as I saw what he does with it, I think it would be proper for me too.

But yes, about the price..if it'd be half of that price, I'd really really consider buying it.
My current budget for the sewing machine is 400€ (480-500$), so I'm more of a searching, what I could get for that money, but would still be doing the job.

The job? 2-4 layers of veg tan leather, each thick 2-3mm. That's max what I'm planning to sew. (I'm really into knife sheaths, so that's why I'm buying a sewing machine).

PS: I really hope I will geta a machine like this one day.

How suitable is it for making holsters and sheaths?
