Lugers fit in Dreyse holsters quite well as evidenced by the many examples of the use of these holsters with Lugers by the Weimar-era police. Also, the provenance of this holster confirms it contained a Luger. I am thinking that the pattern of the old Dreyse holsters may have been used in this case but am puzzled by the lack of a spare mag pouch. Might it have been left off for tank crews to prevent it hanging up in tight spaces?
