Does the color of the holster mean something?

well, and I'd like to throw in that all Waa18 (all made during 1926, so likely for Simson) are ALL black, I have never seen a brown one.

I was taught that for police - black is city police, brown is country police

Ed,

Not to disagree, but WaA18 can be found on holsters made by A. Fischer (undated), C. Pose (dated 1926), as well as Gustav Reinehardt (dated 1922).
