Value of 2 polizei holsters?

[justamanda]

I am thinking of selling 2 holsters in my collection but I have no idea of the value of these items. Both are believed to be polizei holsters. One is in an original yet very used condition. the other one has been reworked to fit a us army belt.

Hello,

Top one is a post war German police holster i think.
2nd one is a modified luger holster. Closing strap changed and belt attachement changed for US style belt. Looking at the original position of the closing strap it could have been a police holster.

The holsters have been correctly identified in this and the other threads. The Hi-Power holster made for the post-WWII W. German police is in very rough condition and IMO has minimal value, if any.

The Luger holster was made in the Weimar era, probably 1929 to 1933, because of the Prussian police markings. IMO, the post-1945 Norwegian modifications have rendered it of little value also. And given its rough condition, any thought of restoration to original configuration would not be financially rewarding.

Indeed the top one is for a HP, see the big spare mag.

That "US" conversion might actually be a Norwegian post war conversion. (Oops somebody already stated that...)
A conversion that was commonly done by the Norwegian army in post war years.
Any holster with the strap going "in the other direction" is Polizei pattern war time or other wise post war made...(markings would be a good indicator.
