Dear Crnaruka:
Your holster is very interesting. If you look at a book on Lugers by Datik (sp) which was published in the 1950's you will find a picture of a wooden holster that closely resembles yours. It was offered to the public in Luger advertisements. A couple of years back I did a thread on one that I have. A better reference is contained in that prior thread. It has the same configuration as yours but is crafted nicer on the interior; with green felt lining. The experts said it looks phony and said the green felt wouldn't be proper. I have since found green felt as a lining in carrying cases for 1900's carbines as sold and in use. I've seen other Luger cases - even presentation cases - lined with green felt. Read that thread and you will get a better understanding of what to expect and get a feel for the various opinions.
thanks
Jack
