Luger police holster verification
Hi guys,
I’m still learning about holsters. Does this piece look authentic from the period. It appears to be police marked from Minden. Thanks, Nate |

Here are two other pictures I forgot to initially include. The company name appears to maybe be Hans Rome out of Neu Ulm in 1916.

Repurposed WW1 holster diverted to police use. Looks good to me.

I don't see any abandoned stitching holes from an Army type buckle closure strap. So maybe a cut down Artillery or Navy holster?

You might be onto something... The shape of the lid suggests Artillery. On the back side of the holster's toe, you can also see the holes left from its stitching before it was cut down.
