Years ago I bought this strange holster~~~

Velvet lined and German proofs. Any insight would be welcomed! Luger was not included! Eric

Someone lined it, but not original.

I've done it myself to new leather for carry in the "old" days, before holsters came lined or made of kydex.

Thanks Don, I'm interested in the markings if possible~

The code letters indicate it was made by: C. Otto Gehrekens. Leder -U Riemenwerke, Pinneberg.
Waffenamt inspector 272. Made in 1941. The lining as stated above is an add on by someone, not official. Bill
