So, the original question was.."fact or fiction, should Lugers have matching date holsters or not?" (ok, that is paraphrased, but that is what I think is being asked). So far the answers are: 'I would want one that is matching', 'Not always', 'Maybe, but doesn't have to be', I am glad I am not the one trying to decipher the answers. I guess it depends on *exactly* what kind of Luger we are talking about here. I would prefer to use the term 'correct' holster vs. 'matching' holster (with an exception made for unit marked rigs that actually have matching serial numbers). A common military Luger would have had a holster with a date on it that might be a year or two off. As for value, since the 'rig' is being made up now, go for the exact year and grade and someone down the road might more easily believe that they 'match'.
