Holsters, What Do I Have?
Picked these up a few years back. Thoughts?
There are no markings on the brown one and it has a shoulder strap. The black one has an acceptance stamp and says Leder Waren Werk Curt Vogel Cottbus 1938. Thanks Paul |
Darn the pics did not load. I’ll get them posted in the morning.
Sorry |

Paul,
Your 2nd holster is of course a Luger holster. Made by Curt Vogel, located in Cottbus in 1938. It's a military holster, with proof mark "Eagle/WaA94" which is all correct. From what I can see it appears to be in good condition. I can't see the entire holster though in your photos. Is there by any chance another marking below the "eagle/WaA94", that looks like an "Eagle/M"?? (I've attached a photo showing what it looks like) As long as no damage or repairs, it's a good WWII era luger holster. Matt:cool: |

Matt,
Thanks for the reply. I do not see any other markings below the acceptance mark. Should I apply some Lanolin to the holster? The brown holster came with a P38, Finnish perhaps? A few more photos. Thanks Paul |
A little lanolin is always good. On the bendable parts for sure...Hinge, top of belt loops, closure strap, top of the tool pouch & the lift strap. Don't apply any to the sueded undersides.

Well well, you learn something new every day. After perusing this section of the forums I learned what that flap was on the inside top of the holster. Low and behold when I opened mine I found the loader tool! A bit rusty at the tip but not to bad! Soaking in CLP now.
Matt that is a heck of a commute to work. |
first picture Lahti ??? , because in second picture impression of grip angle in leather appears to be more of an angle then on a P38 -

Schutzen-jager,
Could be, I'll have to do some looking. I should mention that it has a shoulder strap and is a soft style holster. Paul |
Paul,
I'd take Jerry's advice on the holster. Yes, I have a long commute to work, but it's very rewarding and enjoyable! :burnout: And I get 60 days off when I get home!:cheers: Matt:cool: |
