Very nice rig, with a lot of history, as it was used thru all 3 German periods. Best of luck.

This Imperial holster was reworked during the Weimar period when they added a leather attachment in order to hold the cleaning rod. This attachment was installed on some older and also newly manufactured Luger holsters. This style was originally designed for pre War commercial holsters. The military cleaning rod version was discontinued after 1934. The rod, if original, which I am sure it is, would be worth a few bucks.
