A truely fine 1939 holster

John Sabato · 04-18-2003, 01:48 PM

I just added a new album to the Member Gallery that contains photos of a 1939 Luger holster in absolutely excellent condition. These photos are courtesy of Andrew Rytwinski.

Here is a teaser photo...

That is one outstanding holster - you cannot beat that with a stick!

Are there any maker marks on the rear of the holster and which type of Luger would accompany this holster?

Cheers,
Albert

Hi Albert,

The maker mark is the same as the name of the photo album in the Member Gallery.

"It is a 1939 original German WWII brown holster marked KIMNACH u BRUNN KAISERLAUTERN with a waffenamt Waa416 inspector's mark." says the owner. I have no information on the Luger that this holster carried... It is obvious that it didn't carry a pistol for very long...

It's condition is almost too good to be true... But it IS true. I have inquired as to where this holster has been hiding for 64 years, but as yet have not received a reply.
