hello
I've attached some photos of another ww2 luger holster, and wondered if you would please comment on its authenticity etc.
It's marked Moser & Cie Berlin 1936.
I've no idea if it's "right" or not and would welcome your comments.
Thanks
John

I do not care for the lid shape. It just may be the picture. Also the stitching on the closing strap is not what is normally seen . The belt loops look newer than the rest of the holster. You did not say what the price is ? Bill

Thanks for your reply wlyon. It's £175 about 250usd.
Cheers

It appears to be a poorly made reproduction.

Fake. Nothing more..nothing less.

Even for my callow skills in assessment, the placement of the belt loops gives it away.

I'v just seen this recent thread, nice holster, but if you want something real it's not for you.

Thank you all for your help.
Much appreciated.

It looks like a cheap ink dye and it's all over the threads. The leather lacks any kind of reasonable wear, scratches, and leather condition. And, the belt loops are in the wrong position.
