Any idea who made this? Looks to be well made.

Steve, An interesting question. I don't know of any US commercial Luger holster makers that employ this weird stitching quirk found on this pouch. Look at the bottom of the closure and the belt loop for examples of this!
The quality is very high. Stitching looks to be linen but hard to tell for sure. The brass closure stud is in the old European style, peened over a washer. The whole thing appears to have some age.

It looks like a German style at first but the construction is very different. Molded bottoms instead of pinched and sewn corners. There is a back panel liner rather than the single layer found on the German pouch. Lots of very small differences.

The key to finding out who made it..IF it was commercially produced by a holster maker who made other items is the strange curly Q stitching at the bottoms of the closure and the belt loop. That wound undoubtably appear on other items that may have maker marks.

Jerry, thanks for the reply. I bought this because it looked like it was a high quality piece of workmanship(and 30 bucks wasn't to bad for a look see). I thought at first maybe it was an accessory for the Interarms Lugers but after looking through several references I couldn't find anything that said that they offered such. I will take more pics when it arrives. Maybe someone else here has seen one like it, I know I never have.
