Interesting Holster
This holster is not in very good shape. Someone, very poorly, replaced the mag pouch and the cleaning rod flap is missing. However, the holster is a reichsrevolver conversion. Then cleaning rod holder added for Weimar Era. The only marking I can find is on the outside body, under the flap. It is R.13.23. The last 3 was overstamped on a smaller 2. Possibly another R preceding the R. I have never seen another reichsrevolver conversion with a 1934 type cleaning rod arrangement?

Bill, Very nice holster! I have never seen all that many RR/Luger conversion holsters but I think your correct..not many with the cleaning rod assembly in the top.

Hi Bill,
a nice find. Jan Still has another altered RR holster with the added rod holder in his book WEIMAR LUGERS. His holster was by Eckard Ulm and has a unit mark of the 20th Ulanen (lancers). Regards from Germany |

Considering how long that holster (or various parts of it) was in service it is remarkable that the condition is as good as it is.
