Sir, I'm in need of assistance in determining the origin of these holsters recently acquired with my 1917 DWM Artillery. I appreciate your help. I cannot locate any info on them, no markings or stampings. Thank you very much.

For more info, you need to post pictures of the backs, sides, and of the inside of the holsters and flaps.

I will post further detailed pics this evening. Thank you sir.

actually, no - going direct with one member is not fair to Jerry - the member needs to post a lot of pictures HERE on the forum

Tommy, Thanks for the additional pics!

The military..kind of rough shape unfortunately. Missing quite a few parts but the worst is the back being cut out. With the number of parts missing or needing replacement and the back mutilation..it's not the best candidate for a restoration. It WAS an Imperial German issue Artillery at one time. Likely 1917 or so..Look closely under the top. There MAY be remnants of some markings. Might not be too..

The other is interesting. Seems period and a commercial. I would pin it at between the wars. Looks German made. Commercials are not my specialty..

Worth? The Military is worth just a few dollars..whatever someone might be willing to pay that's not really a strong collector. Condition hurts it..

The commercial..maybe a little more..It's kind of a neat type and not in too bad a condition. But the commercial interest is less than the military so fewer guys are interested in commercial stuff.

Thank you very much Jerry. I greatly appreciate all your help and others as well. At this point, I will search for an additional Artillery Holster and acoutrements to compliment my 1917. I use these as display items in my collection. Much obliged sir.
