Luger holster real or repro

[Caesar1]

Just wondering if this holster is real?

IMHO it is a repro.

Agreed

As someone who occasionally does hand sewn harness repairs, I find you can always tell these holster repros by the smaller gauge thread they use and the crooked stitching as on this one. Even late in the war the Germans still knew how to sew.

Thanks!

Plus I think that maker and combination of markings never existed. the interior leather is also too rough. Lots of red flags here..

Hello!

100% a reproduction, the Leuner markings are fake.

This maker does infact exist, but not with these markings. It is Ernst Gustav Leuner in Bautzen, 2 factories were located there and later expropriated by rhe soviets.
