Canvas Luger Holster

The holster was brought in to the SOS a couple of years ago by a couple of "country boys". It contained a 1921 Landjaegerei marked P08 and a second nonmatching police magazine. The young man who was selling it said that it came from his father as a set and for all he knew it had always been together. A dealer bought the pistol with matched magazine and I bought the holster and remaining mag. A number of fellows at the later NAPCA convention in Chattanooga looked at it, as did Jerry Burney, all agreed that it was a German holster. The use of brown leather, the "up-strap" and the presence of the police Luger lead me to think that it might well have been intended for police use.

It's all "water-over-the-damn" now as the holster has disappeared in the US Mail.
