1915 LP-08 Rig with Pigskin Holster

Imperial Arms · 08-05-2004, 07:46 PM

In the next Rock Island Auction there is a 1915 LP-08 rig with an early pigskin holster made by MARS (?), Berlin in 1915. I would like to receive the comments of the Artillery experts in regards to the strap which appears to be cow leather. Was it considered normal for the maker to mix a pigskin holster with a cow leather strap?

Cheers,
Albert

P.S. Unfortunately, the stock of this rig is mismatched.
