Is this holster a repro????

A completely unmarked black holster is *not* very common. This is not to say that it a re-pop, but one seldom encounters such items that aren't.

It may,might, just possibly could be a commercially made, private purchase holster.

A good way to determine relative age is the old sniff test...old leather luger holsters should have a very strong musty smell with the scent of pipe tobacco present..unless, of course, the original user was a non-smoker, which would be very rare during the period 1914-1945 in Europe.

Hope this helps.
