My first impression was Bulgarian also. I saw that DH stamp on a Luger holster over 20 years ago and have since seen photos of other Luger holsters with the same mark. They have the same misgivings as the DH Lugers...there have been a few examples observed and some are authentic, but there are also fakes, which makes it difficult to accept any Luger or holster with the DH mark as being genuine. It is a shame that profit seeking scoundrels have made what could be an interesting item the object of doubt.

Gut feel...it is a Bulgarian made holster that may be genuine and probably, as Tom noted, from a paramilitary or "Freikorps" unit that could be German or Bulgarian.
