  3. Luger holster style 170 for 3-5/8-inch or 98mm barrel

    4. Pictured is an old Heiser, edge thong wrapped, open top and toe, safety strap and fastener holster made for a 3-5/8-inch barrel Luger that pre-dates the late 1910's. It is a model number 170 with an early style HEISER-DENVER logo stamping, of which, that series of model numbers were changed or dropped after 1918 or so. Heiser catalog 19 is the earliest catalog in the collection, dating to the early 1920s, does not list this holster, although the catalog 19 does state that old numbers have been discontinued and to use the “NEW NUMBERS GIVEN”. The closest Heiser style to No. 170 is Heiser holster style 420 on page 21. Both holster styles are basically similar except for the following items. The holster cavity of 170 is much tighter than 422, making it very difficult to insert a Luger, which can also be seen in the holster silouette, which is confounded by the thick leather, hard body style holster, however, there is evidence long time storage left by deep impressions of a fluted thumb safety lever. Another difference is the use of Heiser triple H logo rivets used in 170 vs. plain rivets used in 422. Since 170 is considered an earlier style it is difficult to reconcile the use of plain rivets on 422 or of any chronological order.

    27. The fact that the above subject Heiser holster lacks a style number is unusual, but not unheard of, as there are a number of Heiser holsters without a style or model number. Also, the stamping on this holster is odd, but similar examples have been noted.

  34. Luger holster style 935X 2 with attached magazine pouch for 3-5/8-inch or 98mm barrel

    35. Pictured is an HH Heiser holster style number 935X 2 for a 4-inch barrel Luger. This style number is listed and described in several 1940s Heiser catalogs. However, the subject holster, per the Heiser catalog description doesn’t exist, as the catalog description of style number 935X states: This holster is made of medium weight Oak Tanned California skirting leather, un-lined, closed end, snap button flap. Back is double stitched, with clip box sewed on. Made for 22 caliber Colts automatic only, not made for any other gun. The Heiser holster style No 935 designation series is quite divergent, from several sizes of full cover flap, belt-loop holsters without added/attached magazine pouches to the subject 935X 2, unique style belt loop holster with separate front facing magazine pouch combination. This makes the subject holster a rare classic, special HH Heiser order item. An Artillery Luger or LP08 Heiser style 935X 5 holster exists.
