Mars Berlin 1915 arty holster value

Hi all I would like to find out about the value of this 1915 Mars Berlin arty holster.

It is the pebbled grain variant, not made of pig skin but cattle leather (?). It is marked FAR3, Feld Artillerie Regiment 3, which was part of the 6th infantry division. The riding Abteilung was part of the 4th cavalry division, and the IVth and Vth battery was part of the 6. Kavallerie SchÃ?Â¼tzen Division.

As part of the 6th infantry division the holster has seen the battle of Verdun,, the fights around the fortress Douaumont and Vaux, as well as the Somme battle and the great battle of France 1918.

If this holster belonged to the riding Abteilung or the 4. or 5. battery it has lived the war in the east.

That's what has written the former owner.

I don't know yet if I shall sell it, how much would be a going price

Thanks

Thorston

Oh, I've forgotten how to upload pics, help please
