Ebay purchase

Thanks for your help, guys. I found a very nice "In Treue Fest" buckle at "Kaiser Bill's" Antique Militaria shop in Pomona, CA...and he paired it up with a WWI belt that matches the holster pretty well. Belt and buckle...$150. Holster...$290.
All I need now is the "Luger Tool" and my package is complete with gun, and holster rig all made in the same time frame. Since the Luger has been in the family for around 80 years, I figured it needed the proper leather to go with it! When my Dad and I retrieved the gun from his cousin (who doesn't care for guns), it had been wrapped it in one of his Mother's (the gun was her Dad's, my Dad and his Grandfather's, my great-Grandad) old nylon stockings since probably 1940 when her Dad died.
This family history is pretty cool and fun stuff...thanks for helping me add to it, gentleman! Just don't tell my wife that I spent $440 on two pieces of "jerky" and a piece of tin, as she calls it
