Luger info needed...

I just picked up some nice military weapons to include this all matching (#874) 1916 DWM Luger. I can find a load of info in my books and on the web regarding the gun...but very little on the holster or mags. Can someone enlighten me a bit (past the basic "yes, that's a Luger holster & clips & they're real.")? Thanks! Some specific questions are below with the pics.



The only markings I find on the holster are under the flap but all I can make out is BERLIN in the center line. Can this be brought out some? Note the small hole in the leather under flap? Makes no sense but has been in there years? Purpose?

What about the two clips? Both are completely unmarked so far as I can see. Both have the wood butts, one is more a blued finish the other steel. Are these both period to the gun? WWII carries?

I appreciate the time and info, thanks!

The holster appears to be a kick-ass Weimar period Reichswehr holster. Quite rare and quite valuable. The magazine with the blued tube is probably not correct but I'm not too good on Weimar stuff and I'm too lazy to look it up. All in all, great stuff.

Mags...

I am not even close to being an expert....but wooden plugged mag production ceased in 1929. Your P08 would have had wood plugs originally and would be numbered to the pistol. The set you have might be armours replacement or perhaps someone has removed the numbers post-war... Again, no expert

Thanks guys!

I agree that the blued mag doesn't please me much ; looking closely, you maybe can find out if it was messed with. The second one seems OK so far. Unmarked bottom pieces are generally associated with commercial Lügers.

About the holster, it seems that a date appears, 192.. ; it's quite logical, as a cleaning rod can be placed under the flap, which is typical of holsters from the Weimar period. IMO, the marking is still clear enough to make it out, playing with the lighting.
