Hello friends,
some weeks ago we spoke about Ã¢??not standardÃ¢?Â LP08 holsters. In the following picture you can see two examples published in the Luger bibliography:

On the left a Ã¢??standardÃ¢?Â holster, in the middle a Turkish holster now in my collection, on the right a holster used by a Spanish officer of troops located in Africa.
I am very interested in this Ã¢??exoticÃ¢?Â holsters that demonstrates the employ of LP08 by officer or high dignitary of countries different from Germany. The picture is extracted from the French book Ã¢??Le Luger, un pistolet de lÃ?Â©gendeÃ¢?Â.

Ciao

Mauro, Well, those are certainly exotic! I have never seen nor dreamed of an LP08 holster made from a psychedelic rug. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Very extraordinary example!I hope no one ever sends one like this to me for repairs. Jerry Burney
