The wooden holster is a prototype that was considered for the very early 1914 Artillery and was never issued to the military. Only one or two original prototypes exist.<hr /></blockquote>Wow. This is interesting information. Gramps memory isn't very good these days, but he remembers the war very very clearly. He can't drive and he doesn't remember a lot from the last few years, but he can tell you all about his training and events in the war. And he's always been very emphatic that the gun fit inside the wooden stock.

From what your saying, this leut either had a prototype or he had a custom job.

But from what John said, it would do me better and cost me less to get a holster/paddle repro combo rather than the hassle of paying several hundred for the wooden stock and then a few hundred to register it. <blockquote>quote:<hr />The stocks must, however, be with the correct type Luger, e.g. an Artillery stock may not be attached to a Navy Luger, etc.<hr /></blockquote>Ah, and how can you tell the difference between stocks? <blockquote>quote:<hr />The knife that you discribe is a "HirshfÃ?Â¤nger" or German hunting short sword, and was used by German hunting associations.<hr /></blockquote>Very cool. Now I got a name to go by. Do you have any handy website or books which would give me more info on this?
