You do know that 3 5/8" is even shorter than 3 3/4" right??? 98mm is about 3 7/8", which is about what a 7.65mm Luger would be, approximately (damn Metric system!)

I had thought that it was maybe for a hitherto unknown variation, or prototype, or feasibility study, or ultra-rare pocket Luger...

Several members here have 'Baby Lugers' but I've never seen a Baby Luger holster...Seems like one would have been custom made, considering some of the members here being leather-workers...A full-flapped military style Baby holster would be cool...

But that Simpson holster looks too big for even a 98mm Luger...More like a full-size P08...

That Heiser page should be taken with a grain of salt...3 5/8" is ~92mm...

(I get excited when I see a post about a weird Luger, or Mauser, or Nambu...Like that C96 Broomhandle that some smith had grafted a Colt single-action revolver grip on...)
