Some time ago I got lucky at a gun show... I actully found something that I'd gone out LOOKING FOR!!!

The object in question was a cheap Luger holster for my VOPO shooter.

The holster in question was (A) in good shape, (B) fulfilled my needs admirably, and (C) only five bucks! What's not to like with that?

After reading some of the stuff here re. the minutae of Luger holsters, I got curious about mine. The seller didn't know much about it... he opined that it's probably a West German police issue holster.

After a cleanup (saddle soap, and Pecard's Leather Dressing) it came out in MORE than presentable shape and has been serving me well... but I thought I'd throw it out here for opinions.

NO markings WHATSOEVER.

Clearly intended as a Luger holster (note the mag pocket cutouts to clear the magazine plug finger pieces)... but it has NO pocket for a takedown tool, nor is there any sign that there ever was one.

Any opinions on this beatie???
