Fellows, Let's just say I am a skeptic...Not one of this type of holster has ever surfaced and been documented or written up in any of the known Luger volumes in over 70 years up to now. There are many European holsters made of a combination of leather and canvas materials but this one does not have the look of a period holster.It should have a patina, glossy, dirty, shiney in places.It seems to lack this to any great degree. I would love to examine it up close and personal to see what I could see but I would not expect to see anything but a fantasy replica of what someone thinks he imagines an Africa Korps holster would have looked like if the Germans had actually decided to manufacture such a holster.

There are aspects of this piece that do look authentic or at least period however. Look closely at the stitching on the closure strap. The closure strap and the stitching on it look very good. I cannot say for certain about the canvas parts...The aluminum closure stud seems to have no dark patina whatsoever.

I am certainly no expert on this type of holster and while some parts of it look good others bring doubt to my mind.

The pouches in the front are indescript and it is questionable what they are for, although one could surmise they are for magazines, they do not look to be the right size for the Luger magazine.

The toe of the holster is too large in my opinion for the luger, and seems to be suited more for a Radom or High Power style.

I would be interested to hear anyone's opinion about this interesting holster. I would love to be proven wrong here and am always ready to learn from anyone with more information than I have.
