Hi, I have just puchased a brown holster to match my 1916 DMW luger. Can anyone give me some history or general info on the maker. It is marked OTTO SINDEL
BERLIN
1916
The holster also came with a strip down tool, It s markings seem to be a crown with a capital script D or L underneath ?? Hard to decipher, but any ideas anyone?
Regards,
Kimbo.

Kimbo, Otto Sindel was one of the most prevalent and largest makers of Imperial holsters. The stamping on the tool is an Imperial proof. It is the correct tool to go with the holster.

You also see that they were long-term, many police holsters from the 1940's are stamped with Otto's name...
