Sorry about the photo it is all I have.

Here come some holsters...more later

Very nice i have several of the badges and awards you show only my would badge is Spanish Civil War meaning old style helmet. What is the black badge right above Iron Cross. Bill P.S. I love the photos BEAUTIFUL!

I would love to know what you have on Kriegsmarine!

Are you saying you collect only holsters! This piece should interest you. It is a commercial PP holster Unmarked brown and with front flap scarification. What makes it very interesting is that it is the piece pictured in the popular reference book (at least in my country) German Pistols and Holsters 1934-1945, VOLUME III by LL. COL. Robert D. Whittington III, U.S. Army (RET). The piece appears on page 76, listed as: Figure 59: Walther PP breakaway. No Markings. Red/Brown cowhide. Unknown Category. Original Holster for Nazi Tirolean Walther PP, serial # 135347P, (I wonder what has happened to this gun as I do not have it with the holster), it goes on: illustrated on page 283 of Volume II. Steel button. Height : 7.12 inches (182mm). Maximum flap width 5.12 inches (130). Stout Photo/Author's collection. I have included pics of the volume cover and page for reference. If you were looking directly at both you could see the match is unmistakable.

Cool tom, yours is Soldier in WWI and Police officer through WWII, mine is soldier in WWI and police through WWII with serviec in 1936 Olympics.

Super what are the Right two medals for.

Would anyone be interested in a discussion of AVIS Handgun Holsters. They are among my favorite collectibles and I have a few to share with you. Please open a discussion if you share this area of interest. Here is my first offering it is a Beretta Italian Military .

Got a black light and the piece did not glow... lint on it did but piece itself did not.

Thanks' Rob

Here is some of the stitching

Here is the inside

Better Photo of Bar

I got a question. In WWI when the Iron Cross was awarded was there not also awarded a wound badge as well? This was with the bar and if it belongs with it I don't want to break them apart. Opinions please.

Who can tell me what this tinnie is for!

Maybe you would like to buy this one!

Thank you!
