French Police M1920 Mauser Holster

(1/2) > >>

DWalt:
I recently acquired a leather holster which may well be one for the 1920 order of 3.9" barrel Mausers for the French National Police.  No one I have contacted seems to know what it is.  Please respond if you know anything about such holsters and can identify it.

1914mauser:
Can you post a picture?

1914mauser:
I does not look like the style the German police used. If you are referring to the French police variation, I thought they were sold with wooden holster/stocks. Have you tried a full size C96 in it? The tag and appearance indicate it was for a 1930 model (full size)?

Regards,

DWalt:
I do not have a long-barrel C96, but from my measurements, it could not accommodate anything longer than a 5" barrel.  And indeed the tag on it says "1930 Mauser pistol"  I do not know by whom or why.  I think the M1930s have a 5.1" barrel, and if so, those would probably fit into this holster.  But the question remains as to what the holster is.  Police? Military? Civilian? whose?  And no markings are on it to help.
