Interesting holster! Modified from an Astra or a C96 Broomhandle? Is it marked?

Welcome to the forum!

I don't think its been modified at all but can't be 100% sure. I remember this since the early 60's and I am sure its the way My Dad brought it back from Europe in 45. I just know it does not look like any other Luger Holster I have seen. I looked it over and did not see any obvious markings. It always had the take down tool in the holster. Any way to tell for sure what it is?? Thanks,Bob

Bob,

Thank You. You have a beautiful example as well. Thanks for taking the time to read the thread and post a photo of your Luger. Bob
