If you really want a picture of a 98 mm Luger just PM me, Trying to post a photo here is just too stressful anymore

You do know that 3 5/8" is even shorter than 3 3/4" right??? 98mm is about 3 7/8", which is about what a 7.65mm Luger would be, approximately (damn Metric system!)

I had thought that it was maybe for a hitherto unknown variation, or prototype, or feasibility study, or ultra-rare pocket Luger...

Several members here have 'Baby Lugers' but I've never seen a Baby Luger holster...Seems like one would have been custom made, considering some of the members here being leather-workers...A full-flapped military style Baby holster would be cool...

But that Simpson holster looks too big for even a 98mm Luger...More like a full-size P08...

That Heiser page should be taken with a grain of salt...3 5/8" is ~92mm...

(I get excited when I see a post about a weird Luger, or Mauser, or Nambu...Like that C96 Broomhandle that some smith had grafted a Colt single-action revolver grip on...)

If it is the right length, it would make a nice home for a "safe and loaded" commercial.

It is the right length. Stoeger is reputed to have imported 7.65 Lugers in barrel lengths for 75 mm (3 inches) to 600 mm, about 24 inches (wikipedia}

My commercial 1920 has a 3 7/8 (98 mm plus).

Have all the fun you want but there is the Heiser 1772 and it is a Luger holster, if you go to that Heiser Website it does show one in the holster. It is a good fit

Jan Still's Weimar Lugers notes 3 5/8 or 3 3/4 barrel lengths as most common for 1920, for the alphabet commercial most are 3 5/8 inch barrels. Still says Stoeger Lugers had 3 5/8, 4, 6, and 8 inch barrels. I believe the longer barrels reported on Wikipedia above are Pacific Arms import barrels

1929 Commercial are usually found with 3 3/4 barrels, Some are Stoegers [Jan Still, Weimar Lugers p258]

But, I do not know why I bother, you already know it all

Not even a little. I am only an egg. Just meant to point out that the linked site wasn't quite clear on the Metric/alphanumeric equivalent. If I offended you then my apologies. I'm old and resent all young people.

Dave, I don't recall that 'Baby' holster, I'll have to Search for it. CRS, you know...

Rich,

Surely you remember the Baby Luger rig that was a collaboration among Jerry Burney, Ted Greene, the late Hugh Clark, and probably one or two more. Full-flapped military style Baby holster and all...?
