Navy Holster?
 

I have recently purchased a holster, which I assume was meant for a Navy luger or a commercial with a six inch barrel. There are no marks on the holster at all. I am assuming that it is probably a reproduction since it is unmarked. I would like to get an idea of what I actually have and would appreciate any information that would be available.
I have posted a photo of it. It has a place for a cleaning rod and for the take-down tool, neither of which were with it.
Thanks, barr

This is a modern reproduction Navy type holster. They are frequently sold New on ebay for $30 to $50

Thanks John,
I figured that it was a repro, but it is in good condition and seems to fit my commercial luger pretty well. I gave a guy $20 for it, knowing it was probably a repro.
Were all of the original luger holsters marked with the manufacturer's name and probably with some type of acceptance or waffen mark? I've seen a couple that looked pretty old but didn't have any marks on them.
I have some holsters that are original for some of the smaller pistols and some are marked and some aren't. I probably should get a book on holsters.
Well, again I thank you. barr

Barr, John is correct of course. The study of holsters and their markings is extensive. If this is of interest to you ..yes, by all means buy a couple of books.
Luger Holsters & Accesories is a good one. Bender.

Military Holsters by Bender is also good, covers more than Lugers.

Thanks for the info on the books, I'll try and find a copy. I don't really collect holsters, but seemed to have acquired several with various gun purchases and really have never thought much about them. It would be nice to know more about them. I suppose that holster collecting is probably another interesting venue altogether. Thanks again, barr

Don't let the absence or presence of marks necessarily guide you, either.
A large number of WW1, WW2 and commertial markings are being fairly accurately faked these days.
These can fool people if the holster is expertly antiqued.
