My 'new' luger holster
 

Awhile back, I asked how to age a reproduction holster. Everyone said the repops were no good and to find a nice original.
Well, after much searching I did find one. A 1937 P08 holster in excellent shape for being 81 years old. All stitching is holding fast, pull up strap is great as is the tool pocket and latching strap. Lots of scuff and wear marks. On the back is stamped: F R & K. Vogels above Koln-Deutz above 1937. I bought it for a song but didn't have to dance for it. Can anyone fill me in on the maker?
Thanks

It was made by F.K. and K. Vogels, maybe brothers; Deutz is a district of the very large city we now call Cologne.

We got the now common scent water "cologne" from a famous and maybe first such toilet water made in Cologne.

Neatly enough, I have a 1938 holster by the same maker. Pictures are before and after lugerholsterrepair was able to fix her up a bit.

I also want to thank those here about buying an original holster. Good advice!
