Is it common for a 1917 holster to be with a 1921 Pistol ?

I purchased all of these together with a nazi belt buckel on the holster

Can this be right,did they have that old of equipment in ww2?

How do you upload more than one photo?

Every time I try to upload a photo I am being told that its too big

2. check under new collectors area and see more hints

3. holsters were not always with the wepon, they many times tossed into a pile, barrel etc and GI's grabbed the ones they wanted. Plus, ww1 items used in WW2...

4. make your pictures smaller

Welcome to the forum.

They used any thing that was in good condition and functioned.

Has anyone seen this Buckel before? I know it is not a match for this ww1--police holster ,but could it be a buckel from another firearm Or just a buckel that part of a uniform?

Looks to be some type of Hitler youth... not so sure but the youth knife has a similar emblem in the grip... best to all...til...lat'r....GT

As GT noted, the buckle is a Hitler Youth buckle and had nothing to do with the pistol and holster prior to their being "captured". The 1917 dated holster is a WWI issue artillery holster that was converted to police use after 1918. As such it is absolutely correct for a 1921 dated Luger assuming that it's a police Luger.

Hitler Youth buckle.

Is the magazine still loaded?

You will take sharper pictures if you use the "macro" function on your camera.
