Default WW1 holster - then Weimar

I picked this up in Louisville, Dwight and I looked it over and he told me, buy this!

Nicer than in my crappy photos

Nice WW1, it was missing the loading tool pouch and the strap for the rod (the rod did not come with it).

Has a very nice Weimar army marking and is nicely marked inside the lid.

Like those holsters that are marked from the two eras, gives the "feeling" of history.

Ed, Very nice holster (your pics are nice too). I just wonder about the rod pouch in a military holster. Or the rod pouch was added later ?

Around 1932 (?) they started to add these cleaning rod pouches - but it did not last for very long and they quit doing it.

The rod pouch seems to be most prevalent in 1934. Bill

Thank you Bill, I could not remember the year, and in fact I think you only see them around that year / time.

The cleaning rod strap and tube were specifically made with the 1934. Not all of them have it but most do. They also have a gigantic closure button on the tool pouch.

But many holsters have the rod strap and tube added to them. Mostly WW1 holsters that were converted.
