CMR Luger Rig from England.?

For a 6" barrel, this would be a better choice and without a stock. http://www.cmrfirearms.com/shop/prod...fbaf661d5c69d9
It also comes in black.

Im just interested in the Holster and Mag Pouches....and the sling........speaking of that.....that has got to be the most Unusual way of carrying a holster Ive seen.....it looks as if the sling goes in the back of the holster & mag pouch through TWO areas......does anyone have any experience or comments on the way these holsters were carried..?.......Im not quite sure what was meant about "Iron" matching..??...but then Im really a novice collector......only have my DWM 1918 with the 6" barrel that Luger Doc did for me.....(Thanks again Tom.!)...and then my Interarms Mauser with the 6" barrel........Im just curious about how the Holsters were carried........comments anyone..??....I appreciate it.....Hans Fischer

Hi Norm.....Thanks for the info and a look at the interesting photo......Ive looked in a bunch of places trying to find old WW1 German Photos or WW1 Postcard photos of troops carrying the Navy Holster rig but have had no luck at all.......do you have any suggestions as to where might be a good spot to look.?....I appreciate your help......Best Wishes.....Hans Fischer

Hi Rich, The rig you posted is an Artillery, not a Navy. The Artillery rig has a stock boot (a detachable cover for the stock iron), the Navy rig does not. Most of my "graduation photos" are dated 1914 and 1915. Regards, Norm

OK, Norm...Those are sailors, right??? Why are the Luger barrels sticking out of the bottom of the holsters???

Hi Hans, "Graduation" photos like these were taken on completion of basic training. They come up for sale on Ebay from time to time, you just have to be patient. I've built up a small collection of them over the years, but they have gotten expensive, over $100.00 most of the time.
Hi Rich, Those aren't barrels you see, they are the iron ends of the stocks to which the holsters are attached.
Regards, Norm
