Norm, Not in my opinion. The Germans had a leather industry that employed primarily cow hide for military gear. Horse hide is much different in texture and thickness. Of the thousands of Luger holsters I have been able to observe NEVER have I seen one I thought might be made of horse. Of course horse hide was used in certain applications..most I am not all that familiar with but I suspect apparel. Certainly not luger holsters.

Too, horses in WW1 were not bred for hides. They were a valuable source of transportation. Moving of armies. Munitions, supplies. Sadly many numbers of them were killed in battles and artillery barrages.

There are quite a number of things wrong with this so called Imperial Navy holster. It could promote quite a discussion on it's own merits regardless of what it's made of.
