There is also a beautiful thing more:the holster is marked"HERM FLOHR COLN 1916".There is not a town with the "Coln" name in Germany(the right writing is Koln)!
But the seller told from the beginning it's a repro!<hr /></blockquote>Through 1918 ,at least, "Coln" was correct. I think that it was changed to "Koln" during the thirties. The Nazis "germanified" the language a bit during their time.
