Correct tool, holster for American Eagle?

Tony,

Welcome back, leavened with sorrow for your loss.

The hallmark on the holster represents the retailer Albrecht Kind. Sometimes you see them with the iniitials AK, rather than Akah (the German pronunciation of the two letters). They were not actually sattlers, but had their own manufacture suppliers.

I would expect that the holster is a bit too short for the .30 AE barrel. AK holsters are generally found for standard (1908) Lugers, very often as Police issue. Check the front to see if it has a buckle closure, or if the buckle and strap have been removed and replaced with a vertical strap-and-stud police-style closure. Also check to see if there is any kind of unit mark.

Can't tell you anything abut the tool, but I expect others will chime in.

Looking forward to pictures of the gun.

--Dwight
