Rare PERFECT WWI Original Bulgarian Luger Pistol Holster P.08

We offer you an old royal model of the Bulgarian Luger pistol holster P.08. At the beginning of 20th c. all Bulgarian officers were equipped with Luger pistols. This armement was used in both world wars, at the time when Bulgaria was Germany's ally. Most of the holsters were of the typical Bulgarian royal army model for Luger pistol P08, admittedly copying the German original. The holster we are offering is of the pre -WWI model which remained the same until WW2. The major change in Bulgarian Luger holster design occurs in late 1930s and basically stays the same throughout WWII, except for the quality of materiel and workmanship. The changes involve the style of the flap and the method of securing the flap to the holster body. The flap seems to be more traditional or standardized being shorter or half the length of the holster body and secured by the brass stud and slit method with a leather strap diagonally and sewn to the back side of the holster body.

The holster is made of genuine thick leather pressed by means of special technology typical for Bulgarian royal holsters. A small strap fastens the lid into a brass clasp. There is a side cartridge pouch (size: 14 cm/5,5 inches) . Its lid has small clasp, marked on inside with a German producer stamp "CK ST"

Full height of the holster 24 cm/ 9,5 inches; width of its upper part (not including the cartridge pouch) 16,5 cm/6,5 inches.
