Is This A Luger Holster???
 

I got this holster with a byf 42 Luger, but no matter how many
pictures I've seen none seem to be quite like this, but a few are
close. One I saw had the strap reversed of this one...

Notice there are no markings...

Any one know???

I thought I'd seen one "like" it recently. This one ended on e-bay just the other day. And their description was, P-38, Luger or High Power...

Not exact, but fairly close? The back is even similar also.

I am fairly certain that this holster is representative of the bulgarian type. I am pretty sure they were not made by the same manufacturer and so they have similar appearance but you will see a lot of variation in the details of their construction.

Jerry Burney (lugerholsterrepair) will probably be able to comment and expand on this theory of mine...

Ive seen the holster below for sale recently and it was advertised as a Bulgarian Luger holster. I would imagine that one way to rule a Luger in or out would be to look at the top of the magazine pouch to see if it has a crescent cut out to accomodate the base of a Luger magazine. If it's straight across then it probably wasn't originally for a Luger. Others here will know better than me.

Its a Bulgar; no doubt about it...shoddy leather and shoddy craftsmanship. It has always seemed strange to me that as lovely as the Bulgar contract guns are -and they are both graceful and unique, their holsters are such POS. My first Luger was a Bulgarian...still regret trading it for the Python I took to 'Nam...

I concur. Above shown are WW2 era Bulgarian production. I have a couple in similar fair condition available @ $60 each. Tom H.
