Title Leather holster for a PO8 (Luger) automatic pistol
Nationality German
Period c 1914
Sold

Stamped with LZA and a winged eagle to the reverse, and the remains of a maker's name. Probably refurbished (black stain) for service use in WW2. Academically interesting as showing clear evidence of use in both wars. The original WW1 service issue holsters were brown leather.

The leatherwork is a little worn in parts on the face of the holster.

Excellent information, Chris, you've been making a big effort! I will spell it out more closely (I'm a historian!) and don't think Bezdek can add much more.
