Luger Christmas Present

I want to say the stamp on the inside flap of the holster is 5FAAR, I am not sure about the 3rd digit A but I am about the rest of them. Again I will take a closer look once I return home.

Hi Jack,
the unit stamp in your holster is 5FdAR 1913 that means 5. Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment. All numbers of the Lugers until 1914 are documented in German archive.
I cannot make out/ find your Luger in this list. I think that your Luger was issued to another holster.
But the 5. Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment had a great history in the Great War and I may congratulation you to both items.
I have 2 holsters of the same ragiment but it was made in 1910 and the other 1912.
Thanks for showing your nice items.

You have a really nice Bavarian issue Luger. It is great to see such a well preserved piece, and the holster is equally spectacular. I have its cousin made the year before (1912) and marked to the 4th Bavarian Infantry staff. It is also a WWII bring back captured at Bastogne.
