my first Luger

whoa, whoa, lets not get crazy here.

This is a WW1 era holster (LZA) that is police modified! The 5722 on the back helps substantiate that and the strap is not un known to occur like this. But let me look again

I also merged the photos, at least the first ones to make it easier on my old eyes

Too late for that, Ed!

WWI with mag pouch appended... Thanks for the LZA info. And in the latest shots, an extra stitch-hole is visible for the former military configuration closure, on the lid. I think I can barely make out the evidence on the body, in the right place for the original strap's buckle end, but it's there. If anybody knows police holsters, Ed surely does!
