Picked these up for next to nothing at auction this weekend. I have no idea what they are for let alone what I can sell them for if I want to
Both are vintage holster, neither are repops. 
This one has some sort of stamp inside the flap, that I can't make out...

Nothing definitive - but the one on the right might be an east German Makarov, left one maybe a Nagant?
After looking at some pics - I suspect both are Nagant holsters of different ages 1895 and 1901 models? |

I'm pretty sure they're pistol holsters.

Could very well be a nagant holster.... Ok, the biggest one would fit a nagant, but it just doesn;t seem right. Small one flap will not shut on a nagant. Here's pics and measurements....

My first thought was nagant,
The leather doesn’t look as textured as the majority of the ones ive seen, but everything else looks about right You're gonna have to by a nagant to see if it fits |

They are German police holsters for 5" S&W revolvers. They were originally for the M1879 Reichsrevolver (the one on the right might still be) but were reconfigured as a make-do type of thing. The immediate post-war Germans did not waste leather.
I'd love to find a 4" one for one of my German police marked Victory models. I've seen one so they are out there.  Attached FileI just keep my 5" .32-20 hand-ejector in it. |
