Patrice, A beautiful example of a rare holster! I have never seen a Luger Police holster made in pebble grain.I have seen Artillery's made of this leather. You say the holster is one of the last made and it might very well have been but, the look of the holster is indicative of the Germans passion for quality. Even though the tool pouch is missing I cannot detect where any other conservation measures have been taken. The top is molded perfectly, the pull up strap looks to be normal, the edges of the leather are rolled, right down to the magazine pouch top. The only fault I can find is, the closure strap is slightly askew.
The thickness of the leather on this holster is not necessarily indicative of it's late manufacture, rather the type of leather it is made of. Pebble grain leather is never seen in great thickness. I suspect it was something about the pressing process that created the pebble grain, thick leather does not press well.

Patrice, I would be interested to know just how thick the leather is on this holster. The top and body thickness.

A normal holster is a minimum of one tenth of an inch and can go to around .01,20. I have the original German specifications for leather thickness for holsters around here somewhere.

Let me know if you have a dial micrometer or another good way to measure the thickness. Thanks, Jerry Burney
