Genuine holster?

LSP972 · 02-13-2009, 09:15 AM

Album 3 in my profile shows pics of the holster that came with the DWM 1914 described in my first post. It appears to be the "real thing"?

What is the purpose of the studded flap under the top of the holster?

The leather thong that, when pulled, elevates the pistol a bit so you can get your hand on it, is pretty cool.

The innovation of the Germans has always impressed me. Guess that's why I have HK handguns for "serious" use these days...

Gun show lore from sage old timers say this pouch was for one last suicide bullet...
I think it MIGHT be for the magazine loading tool.

Just noticed there is a holster forum.

Duh.

Moderators, could you move this thread over there please?
