Original era manufacture. A very sound, blackened leather Artillery Luger holster, originally finished in a brown color, with an unmarked, wood topped steel cleaning rod in its special side pocket. The holster had been flattened from long storage, as we found it in the bottom of a box of other holsters at a local estate sale. We have stuffed the interior with some bubble-wrap to fill out the body, and found the leather to be very pliable, with the stitching remaining intact The loading tool pocket is where it should be, no visible maker markings or year date, maybe we just need some stronger light. The cleaning rod has a steel patina finish to the rod itself, with a small brass piece on the tip. The barrel-shaped wooden handle pivots properly, has been lathe turned, and has a nice patina finish.
