That's a good comment Jerry - why not horsehide as well? Is horse leather similar to cow leather and probably better than pigskin? Have you ever tried to make a holster out of horse leather?

If my knowledge is correct, the Germans did eat horse meat during WWI when beef became scarce, so they could have used the skin for leather in order to make holsters.

Thank you for the interesting comments on this topic.

Cheers,
Albert
