RARE MODEL Original German ally Luger P.08 pistol holster , marked

We offer rare authentic holster for Luger P.08 pistol, made in royal Bulgaria after German model. A German ally Bulgarian army was supplied mostly of German and Austrian army equipment . The first pistols for Bulgarian army were delivered in 1911, first for the general and commander staff only. Later there were new deliveries, Bulgarian officers sued Lugers during the WWI and WWII.
There are few types Bulgarian Luger holsters, unfortunately none of them was established with decree. The most spread model has a long flap.
Being into Bulgarian holsters research for over 10 years now, we can confirm that the holster here is of really rare type. This one belonged to an officer - colonel of Bulgarian general army staff and was worn during the WWII. Ordered by the colonel holster was made by Army leather maker in Sofia. Its model almost repeats the German Luger holster. From inside the flap there are authentic stamps : one of them reads: "2.D.O." , the other is maker's mark which is difficult to read.

The ammo pouch aside is 13,2 cm/ 5,2 inches long. There are also two zip pouches at front. Holster is long 24,5 cm / 9,7 inches; the top part is wide 19 cm/ 7,5 inches.

RARE MODEL HOLSTER in great authentic condition. Very precious find for Luger collectors !
