Many thanks Gentlemen..When I am too depressed seeing my portfolio on Bloomberg.com I look my holster collection..
Alf, I am just a collector and not at all an expert. George Anderson, Mauro and some others could speak about Mars much better than I might do. Mars was a berliner manufacture which made civil leather items but worked also for the german Army, specially holsters and pouches at the beginning of ww1.
LP08 Mars holsters have been made only in 1915 if I don't mistake, and they are very rare. Here are some other pics of my Mars 1915 pigskin.
