holster maker help

I have an early type police style Luger holster that is marked: K. BUDDE BREMEN on the back. It does not have a date on it, or any other markings. Is anyone familiar with this maker, I can not find a reference to him anywhere?

I have seen at least one other Bremen made luger holster and it was WW1 vintage. I think yours may be a rework from P08 or LP08 to police style. Look for any stitching holes leftover from the original configuration.

It is just the opposite, it is a rework from a police style to a buckle style.

Unfamiliar to me. Maybe a very very early police luger holster from the teens or twenties. Maybe the rework company? I don't have an early police holster. The earliest I have seen has the twenties teardrop strap and the earliest I have in collection is a 1929 Fischer which is a typical police maker. Wish I could be of more help.

Does anyone know when the police style of luger holster was first made?

Well, anyway, it is on it's way to Jerry for restoration to original police configuration!
