Looking for a match to this Holster

thorin6 · 08-24-2008, 08:40 PM

A relation found a box of military stuff in his attic, dated from the '60s. He sold it to me (he had no interest in it). Among the items was this Luger Holster, with loading tool and number 2 magazine. The holster was given to him without the Luger, and he has no idea what happened to the pistol. His location is Ohio.
I know this is a long shot, and at this point I'm not sure what I will do with the holster, but I thought I would try this forum and see if anyone might have the Luger that goes with this holster set.
The Holster is marked on the back with L.St.237, dated 1929. The tool is marked with the number 237, and the magazine has the serial number and the number 2 underneath and the number 1035 on top. The pictures show the marks.
This not an offer to sell the holster; that may come later. However, if someone out there has a pistol that is marked on the front strap with the L.St.237 (Landjaegeri Stetten, I believe), then there is a chance we could mate the pistol to the holster. Any comments are welcome.

It is very unlikely you will find the matching pistol; I say that because folks are always looking for matching magazines for their lugers. That said, I hope someone has #237

I have previously bought a holster, tool and mag that match each other before and if this came up for sale, keep me in mind. I think this 1929 police holster would clean up fairly nicely.
