Is this a Navy? Looks a bit long but might be just the way i see the photo

RK, I think just the angle, but it does look long in the photo.

Ed

It might be for 4.75" barrel, or just the photography angle the photo was taken, but definitely not for a 6 inch Navy Luger... it also looks pretty old and has lost it's shape to a lot of oil... too bad.

Gentlemen PLEASE....There are many characteristics that make up an Imperial Navy Luger holster besides just length. RK, I'm surprised at you! Surely this was a jest?But in case it is not..... An Imperial 6" Navy holster looks nothing like this rag that some dunce is so far willing to part with 82 Euro's for.

The type 1 Navy will not have..
a buckle but a stud for fastening
The type 1 Navy will not have..
belt loops but a stock block
The type 1 Navy will not have..
a magazine pouch but a rod pouch with ears.
The type 1 Navy will not have..
a bucket lid but a flap type that is teardropped in shape.

For those of you who care, the Type2 Imperial Navy does have some similarities to the Army type such as belt loops and a buckle strap type closure. The buckle is in the center of the body facing straight up not on an angle to the side like the Army style.

Review your books on this before you jump to any conclusions!

Along a similar vein, when I was a novice I mistook a Pourtugese holster for a Navy and got real excited but is way too short. 4 and three quarters I believe...Looks like a navy too from the front. Jerry Burney

Jerry,
Thank you for maintaining your composure and enlightening those who are willing to learn.

Your Airborne ud,

Well hell, I guess asking a question to the "experts" is the wrong damn thing to do.

Maintain composure, sorry that we said anything.

Now Ed, I hope I didn't ruffle your feathers....I was sure this was all in fun but I didn't want to lead astray any of our newer members. They might get the wrong idea here about what's what. I myself am still a student. I can remember not too long ago when I was learning at the knee of Tom Armstrong and I am still learning.

I just finished re building a 1916 Artillery holster and then made all the stock attaching leathers...Looks really great. I will post some pics if I get time. Jerry Burney
