Pete, nice grouping, like the '10 Gulden' bill

G -

George Andersen was kind to send me the currency as a gift.

I am patiently hoping to add holster, magazine pouch, and GS tools one day.

It only took me 4 years to find a 2nd. Dutch magazine...at the right price...

Owner thought it was some "bubba repair". I did not make him any smarter and just let him think he got top dollar for a shooter mag...

Haha,

Pete, that's how my 1st issue magazine came together as well. Seller thought he'd swindled me when I bought the bottomless magazine from him.

Tom Heller helped me out with the base and spring.

2 KNIL holsters were sold from the Visser collection last year, both went for serious money, too high for my budget....

Here is one of Jerry's Lanyards:

Seems I remember seeing one, authentic, repro, or just a strap, I don't know, but it did not have a metal clasp for the gun's ring .... It had a piece of flat leather like the one in the picture above.

At any rate, accurate or no, I am not very interested in leaving a metal clip attached to a collector Luger. Leather would not be much better, maybe, but not likely to scratch.

Alex,

I would venture a guess that Dutch soldiers did not care about "% finish remaining" on a gun...they probably just cared if the gun was clean, would fire, and would be on the end of their lanyard when they pulled it out of their holsters...

The Swiss sewed-shut their little leather pull straps...sort of a permanent attachment.

As far as I know Lugers were not issued with Lanyards, and how the luger Holster is not made it can't have a lanyard to the gun with the flap closed.
My two cents.

Alf,

I'm sorry to disagree, but it actually is both very well possible and very well documented that, for example, Dutch Navy soldiers, both used lanyards and the P08 style holster.

There is more than enough room to allow a lanyard to stay on the gun and peep under the lid of a P08 style holster.

You are right, however, that there is not much proof that the GERMAN Army issued lanyards with the P08.

It's important to remember that the Germans weren't the only ones using lugers.
