question about a brown luger holster

[DavidJayUden]

Should I rub my crystal ball until I see an image? Or shouild "brown holster" be enough to determine what cow it came from?

There are several 'tutorials' on picture posting...Just need to look around a bit...

Here's one - posted by my favorite forum member -

Pics are a must...As for markings, try looking closer, with a magnifying glass...they may be very faint...

Hi Luke, Welcome to the forum! As the others have noted, we can't be much help without photos, the clearer the better. In the mean time, these two illustrations should narrow things down a bit. In the first photo the back of the magazine sleeve is not part of the holster back, it's part of the sleeve. This is how holsters were made in WW1. In WW2 the back of the holster was also the back of the mag sleeve, as in the second photo. Hope this helps, Regards, Norm

From that information it looks as if it is a WW1 holster. Does anyone know what the rough value would be for something like that?
