That doesn't look like the Turkish holster on page 194 of Jan Still's Third Reich Lugers. The "traditional" holster of the Turkish police was russet in color and had the police closure tab. The holsters as in Jan's book are very expensive (over $1K) when available. I would imagine that Simpsons LTD feel that since their holster is not the "usual" one that, if you are very lucky, accompanies the Turkish police Luger, that the price is lower. I have never seen the holster that went with the Turkish air force lugers, maybe theirs is one of those.
