Canvas Luger Holster

I'd certainly want more documentation to declare it a pre1946 experimental. TH

Tom, I understand doubts people may have. I have examined many thousands of holsters both real, repro and fantasy. I am more familiar with German construction methods and materials than most. This Police holster was without a doubt pre 1945. I had the chance to examine it in my shop under intense light and magnification. Every stitch, backstitch, material and method of construction declared loud and clear when and who made it. The documentation of authenticity is with the holster wherever it goes for those who know what they are looking at.
Canvas holsters are not unknown...Period photographs exist of their use as early as WW1. Granted they are rare...there are also repro's. Any repro I have ever seen was a poor thing that would not fool a blind man.
I suspect this holster was an experimental piece..perhaps a small run.
George's canvas Police holster is..or was? the real deal and I stake my reputation on my analysis of it. I have no ax to grind or financial interest. My determination is intirely free of any bias.
