patches Posted June 14, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 14, 2021 What type of Holsters are all these soldiers wearing? Are these in fact Canvas Luger Holsters? Soldiers are presumably of a Non Establishment Assault Troop Unit in 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted June 14, 2021 Found this Repro Luger Holster, Grun Canvas, looks kind like the above ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawkhenry Posted June 15, 2021 Share #3 Posted June 15, 2021 I’ve not seen that style of holster before. Could be an ersatz model. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Would the Canvas thus Ersatz holster be one that was made in the late war period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted June 16, 2021 In the mean time I will check on foreign pistols the Germans used in WWI, maybe these are foreign ones they are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted June 16, 2021 They maybe Revolver holsters because when we ZOOM in we're not seeing the Magazine holder on the sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARGE Posted May 17, 2022 Share #8 Posted May 17, 2022 They look somewhat Austrian to me. The large re-enforced flap, the circular stitching of the closing loop, and the lack of a magazine holder. Here is a Steyr holster. Perhaps the photo shows used leather holsters instead of canvas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share #9 Posted May 18, 2022 Sarge I think you nailed it, The Steyr, Here's another holster, in Black' These troops might be now Bavarians, cause we seen this, says the Bavarian War Ministry got some from Austro Hungaria, in 1916 and again in 1918. https://pre98.com/shop/pending-scarce-german-ww1-m1912-steyr-hahn-pistol-1918-bavarian-issue-mint-crisp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
