Reproduction Holster...
 

I bought a reproduction Nazi Germany style P.08 holster. Rather well made, I even got the date on it to match my byf 42. Here are some pictures of it. In the last photo, notice the rectangular piece of black leather. This goes inside to a strap. Is that to make it easier to raise the gun out of the holster???

yes, you pull on it and it raises the pistol up out of the holster enough to grasp it firmly.

That is a fine looking holster.
Did you have it made?
I was given one for X-mas that was bought from Cheaper than dirt. It is nice but is stiff as a board. That little strap gets stuck trying to pull the gun up with it.

I bought it from International Military Antiques. They have a website with lots of stuff useable for Luger people. Go to:

The leather is very flexible, and the top opens nicely. In the picture you can see that they even put a roller on the buckle to make it work smoothly. I like it!!!
