This one is for a Danish used Bergman Baynard. This is a pricey holster in this condition, this complete and this early. Hard to give accurate value as they don’t come up for sale that often. I would estimate “replacement” cost at least around $1000, may or may not be a slow sell at that range.

No idea on this one but does not strike me as real old.

Cleaning rod looks almost blacksmith made, maybe converted from a cut down and hooked rifle rod, don’t know.

Rast Gasser Austro-Hungarian empire era probably converted from an over the shoulder to a belt style which was often done with all holsters from that Army as time went on. Value- not sure but probably ballpark similar to a Luger holster although much harder to find.

I assume a Finnish Luger holster and stock.

Very nice Bavarian Steyr Hahn holster from WWI probably made around 1916. My other responses are under each photo inside the original post copied here.

I wonder what #2 is for?
FN High Power? Persian?
It seems to be missing a mag pouch.
#4 is indeed a Finnish Lahti holster, but it probably was used with a luger in this case.
Lahtis did have stock lugs but the stocks were different -more like broomhandle stocks.
ref #4 - the tool pouch is for a Lahti tool - which is weird, as the Lahti holster has a pouch completely different. And the extra magazine is a Lahti, not a luger.
