I just picked up this holster and would like any ideas Forum members could offer about it. It is totally UNMARKED. It has thread holes on the front where it appears a former strap has been removed, perhaps similar to an artillery closing strap. Leather is in beautiful condition. Buckle part of the closing strap is also unusual, as it is not sewed on tightly to the body but has about 1" of loose leather. Leather is an unusual pebble grain. If anyone has "Luger: The International Pistol" book, the leather is almost exactly the same as on page 95 of the book. The holster came with a 4 digit ns serialed 1st Issue millitary, also in very nice condition. I have not seen an early Luger holster with this type of leather before. Is it an early holster ....or what? Any ideas/comments?
