What holster is correct for 1906 Commercial .30

DavidJayUden · 03-19-2010, 06:35 PM

I just picked up a nice DWM 1906 BUG proofed commercial .30 cal, 4.75: barrel from a fellow forum member, and am wondering what would be considered to be a correct holster for it? Anyone got one that is in their way?
Thanks for the wisdom.

A commercial holster for a M1906 Luger, especially a European one, is very, very hard to find. For your information, the 'half-moon' shaped buckle should be covered with leather with very fine stitching.

Good luck,
Daniel

Here are some photos of a holster for a 4 3/4" commercial 1906 Luger.
I found the 4 3/4" types only with the (patent) or push- button (in German Druckknopf) on the tool flap.
All 1906 holsters are hard to find.

Hi David, If your gun is Germany marked, and hence a U.S. import, you might consider an American made holster like a Hieser or an Audley. Regards, Norm

Not marked for export. Dang...

I've seen 1906 Portuguese Army style holsters without the AE stamp or any other markings. I assumed they were commercial.
