You are offerding in one of the 350 very rare holsters from the first contract made between The Royal Portuguese Navy and Imperial Germany in 1908.

As in 1906, the Navy chooses the 9mm for a question of logistics in the foreign campaigns, besides that, the Luger was exactly the same model, the 1906 Luger, the Navy named her “Pistola Parabellum m/910 “ .

That first shipment equipped the Navy with 350 pistols and as it is obvious they needed belts and holsters.

As you can observe in the photos there is two metal clips, Portugal, in this case the Navy was the first to adopt the English Webbing M1908, in this case the belt. In 1917 the Portuguese Expeditionary Force fight with Enfield’s with that web gear, complete pattern, famous Mills that is the vertebral column until the M58. Yes, its fits, I tested and the clip fits either in a 1912 belt, from the Portuguese Republican Navy, a M1908 pattern.

Well, 1912 Portuguese Republican Navy, to end this long text.

The Navy received a second lot of 300 Luger in 9mm too with some differences from the M1906, they name it “Pistola Parabellum m/912”.

Then more 300 holsters, but the difference is that they putted a mark saying “RP”, the ones from El Rei D.Manuel II, King of Portugal, as the one that you are offerding, is not marked anywhere in the leather.
