The holster is a GI private purchase. The RZM marked clasp was added to it later, as the original design adjustment buckle made it harder to remove the holster with gear on. I agree that it is an SA dagger hanger clasp.
This is not an issue item and should not be priced as such. Between the pistol, holster and the yet to be seen magazines, you paid in the high end of retail, but you weren't seriously hurt. |

Congrats on your "new" Luger. You have what is considered a shooter grade 1918 DWM Luger. Due to the rust/pitting, heavy buffing, and rebluing, it no longer has collector value. That is not a bad thing for one's first Luger. Learn about it's inner workings, clean and lube it, and then take it to the range and enjoy. Lugers are fun shooters. Welcome to the forum.

Yours is a 1911 STYLE holster, made for a luger.
Commonly made in Europe for various pistols post WWII.

You have shown the base of a mauser magazine(eagle 63) and a Portuguese luger magazine, the one with the markings and wood base.

Good job, Don, but can you identify the one with the base that looks like marbled white chocolate?

You seem to have one post war commercial mag, maybe Erma. There appear to be two WWII era mags with modern replacement bottoms and two Imperial era wooden based mags. They all have some value. Your purchase was a good one for the money.

but can you identify the one with the base that looks like marbled white chocolate? I suspect it was made by the "Franzite" company they made Luger grips too.

The magazine in the far right in your first mag picture might be a Swiss Luger magazine. Is there a letter "P" stamped on it?

Holster was not issued German equipment. A rework, most likely by the GI either while in Europe or when he returned to the States. Americans in the 1940-40-50s were fascinated with shoulder holsters, just look how often they appeared in the period movies.
