Default WW1 Luger holster makers listed by city

Scott A. compiled this listing for us of Luger holster manufacturers; this is a "rework" (alphabetized and added a few new ones) on a list of Luger holster makers that was originally made up by Klaus Merzbach.

Default Steinmetz holster made in Breslau?

Have you ever heard of a holster made by Steinmetz of Breslau. I have what looks like "1915" by Steinmetz. The city is hard to read but looks like Breslau.
Thanks,
George

Hi George, I don't see any Steinmetz, Breslau listed. Could it possibly be Stegmann & Bussau, Hamburg? Regards, Norm

Default Steinmetz at Breslau

Thanks all. Yes. Using the a magnifying glass I can clearly see the city name -- Breslau.

There is another stamp or marking that I can't decipher. Does anybody know what it might be or might mean????

I appreciate the help.

George

Default Thanks for the list

Edward- the list helped me with a holster I just bought from Jerry B. It is a beautiful brown 1938 from Dresden; and now I can be fairly sure that it was made by Carl Heinichen. Thanks much. Bill

I recently picked up a reasonably good holster and the stamp looks like its ''SATTLER-JNNUNG'' HANNOVER 1917 the second word is not stamped so clearly, but the first letter is pretty clear that its a ''J''

Perhaps the info is of some interest to the group.

With so many German holster makers, how did they keep up uniform standards? Did Krieghoff made their own holsters? They seem to be a higher quality!

Lightbulb List mistake possible

I was just checking the list and believe that under the city of Munchen the manufacturer is listed as Kelinheinz Lederwarenfabrik. I have a holster that says Kleinheinz Munchen so I think that the l and e should be reversed on the list.

First, they wrote comprehensive specifications.
Second, they had the elaborate inspection systems that we see
represented in the markings we "love" to have and see.

Thank You Ed! I recently purchased 'Luger And Holsters And Accessories' and awesome but still had questions. I posted four basic designs. There were over a hundred makers! Were there detailed designs for each. I posted 4 different designs that I have. Were there other designs. I am aware there was a change in color from brown to black. Was there a patent for each design? Uniformity? Specifications or demands? How much were the makers paid and who did the inspections?

Gentlemen,
I was looking at a holster for a LP08 for sale in the UK and I am curious if anyone has come across this makers mark before?

Stay safe
Richard
