WW1 Luger holster makers listed by city
Scott A. compiled this listing for us of Luger holster manufacturers; this is a "rework" (alphabetized and added a few new ones) on a list of Luger holster makers that was originally made up by Klaus Merzbach.

Steinmetz holster made in Breslau?
Have you ever heard of a holster made by Steinmetz of Breslau. I have what looks like "1915" by Steinmetz. The city is hard to read but looks like Breslau.
Thanks, George |

Hi George, I don't see any Steinmetz, Breslau listed. Could it possibly be Stegmann & Bussau, Hamburg? Regards, Norm

Steinmetz at Breslau
Thanks all. Yes. Using the a magnifying glass I can clearly see the city name -- Breslau.
There is another stamp or marking that I can't decipher. Does anybody know what it might be or might mean???? I appreciate the help. George |

Thanks for the list
Edward- the list helped me with a holster I just bought from Jerry B. It is a beautiful brown 1938 from Dresden; and now I can be fairly sure that it was made by Carl Heinichen. Thanks much. Bill

I recently picked up a reasonably good holster and the stamp looks like its ''SATTLER-JNNUNG'' HANNOVER 1917 the second word is not stamped so clearly, but the first letter is pretty clear that its a ''J''
Perhaps the info is of some interest to the group. |

With so many German holster makers, how did they keep up uniform standards? Did Krieghoff made their own holsters? They seem to be a higher quality!

List mistake possible
I was just checking the list and believe that under the city of Munchen the manufacturer is listed as Kelinheinz Lederwarenfabrik. I have a holster that says Kleinheinz Munchen so I think that the l and e should be reversed on the list.

Second, they had the elaborate inspection systems that we see represented in the markings we "love" to have and see.

Thank You Ed! I recently purchased 'Luger And Holsters And Accessories' and awesome but still had questions. I posted four basic designs. There were over a hundred makers! Were there detailed designs for each. I posted 4 different designs that I have. Were there other designs. I am aware there was a change in color from brown to black. Was there a patent for each design? Uniformity? Specifications or demands? How much were the makers paid and who did the inspections?

Gentlemen,
I was looking at a holster for a LP08 for sale in the UK and I am curious if anyone has come across this makers mark before? Stay safe Richard |
