Jonah,
I am sure Bob had a reference and a valid observation that the holster is German, and I don’t think anyone here has expressed a different opinion as to its origin. My response was directed at your apparent impression that the holster was a German issue item and rejected the correct identification by Bill (wlyon) that the holster was never a German issue but likely a private purchase. Since the holster is not an issue item and is unmarked (as is almost universally true for this type of holster) the identification of it as German by the reference and Bob’s assessment is based on observation and opinion, not solid government specification and documentation.
If my interpretation of your remarks is wrong I apologize. I also appreciate your gracious apology. That reveals that you are basically an individual of good character and a welcome addition to our collective Luger insanity.
