[lugerholsterrepair]

Matt, The first marking is the "WwMg" which is "Waffenwerk Magdeburg". This is placed over the date in lieu of a maker name or code so your thought is a good one I think.



It would seem odd to have a leather shop for making just a few new holsters at a firearm repair depot though? Gearing up and maintaining a Luger holster making shop wouldn't be any small enterprise. That and the fact that there were hundreds of available shops willing and able to provide completed holsters seemingly.


Depot rework holsters are an entirely different subject matter. We can start a thread on those too if anyone cares to? I would care to. But in all honesty, outside of RR conversions to Luger, detecting a holster that was repaired or reworked? I would like to hear from anyone about this subject.



I have mentioned this repeatedly over the years but bears repeating again. I have never seen a photograph of a WW1 or 2 leather shop making Luger holsters! It seems impossible that this subject was never photographed..but if there are any I have not been aware of it.
