Thats a nice Luger III Reich -era holster. Worth $150-175. A very good buy for $20.

Clint,

What a nice holster for that price...

The problem with empty holsters...they need to be filled...so your hunt for an appropriate 1938-dated Mauser luger begins...:D

Here is a photo of a '41-dated holster I found 3 years ago in a local doll/antique shop for around $ 65...they had it tagged as a "repro"...I was happy to mate it to my '41 byf...

Ed,

I suspect Clint knew it was a luger holster and may want to know what specific luger would be an appropriate fit...

i.e....1938's...do they have the hump or not, do they have strawed parts or not, etc...

Clint,

Can you tell us the marker mark and WaA info...?

Oh I knew it was a luger holster because its like the other 2 I have but I didnt know which luger it was for as the more I read here im quite sure there are more variations of lugers than any other type of gun in existance. I didnt know it was in the box till I had time to look thru it after work yesterday eve, there is a old hunting vest ans some old leather holsters that go to revolvers in the box also and it all has a musty smell. If the little circle is the maker it says c wiess braunschweic and the bird has WaA330 under it. Is 1938 the year the holster was made or the pistol that went inside and if they went to that much trouble why didnt they #sn the holster to the pistol. I guess I will start hunting a pistol to live in it as it does seem kinda empty. You have to remember that I never looked twice at a luger until a couple of months ago as I was a colt, winchester nut. I have a whole box of books about german firearms but with work being what it is I barley have time to read this forum. I dont know what croping photos is or how to do it so help there would be appreiciated. Thanks clint

Cropping photos...
 

Cropping is the term given to cutting off the unnecessary part of photographs that will be displayed. By doing this you eliminate the need for the data for that part of the photos to be transmitted, and it makes the photo file smaller... That makes upload and display a lot faster for those of us who are operating on a dialup connection.

You can do this in Microsoft Photo Editor which should be on your computer if you are operating under Windows 2000 or later, or maybe even earlier versions.

Open the photo in that application, then select the dashed rectangle tool from the tool bar... draw a rectangle around that portion of the photo that you want to keep and then using the "image" menu, select "crop" and the rest of the photo disappears... save the image that is left and you are done.

Here is the first photo that you uploaded and displayed after being cropped to just the holster...

Do some experimentation with the software and you will see that it is really easy.
