No one has ANTHING? to say about this grouping?

As far as I know the exact meaning of the LZA/Eagle is unknown. Possibly leather accepted for government contracts, or leather supplied to holster makers? American soldiers like to attach German devices to captured holsters. Strap has been field or veteran repaired. The tool looks like it has a Crown/Letter stamp, and is probably Erfurt.

Thank yoo for the information

[krisseals]

wonder what value if any could be attached to this group?
surely the magazine could be worth something?

There is a photo of your maker mark on page 219 of Benders Luger Holster book. It shows L.Z.A./Eagle/J.Karlsruhe.
No other information is given.
Magazine might go for $70-$90.
Tool- around $60 depending on what the mark is on it.

Leather was rationed in WWI. L.Z.A. = Leder Zuweisungs Amt. Leather Distribution Depot for the Imperial Army.
