SOLD - Rare 1937 Luger Holster - 1st Variation

Description

8/10/24 - This is a rare, first variation 1937-dated Luger holster manufactured by FR&K Voegels, Koln-Deutz in 1937. The holster is stamped on the back leather with a maker stamp, Waffen proof, and date stamp. Markings are crisp and distinctive. We refer to this holster as a "1st variation" 1937 holster because the Waffen proof is a droop winged eagle, and not stick winged. 1937 was the year the Germans switched to the stick winged variation proof stamp, so this holster was likely made in the beginning of 1937. The leather is in great condition, though there are a couple very small gouges in the internal backing leather, as well as some imperfections and surface wrinkling on the mag pouch, and minor wrinkling of the closure strap. Very mild surface wear throughout. Otherwise the leather is fairly stiff, indicating very little use. No notable stitching issues.
