Is this a gun holster?
All I can add is that this is not too big. It has a brand name stamped on the front and back. Which is a 3 CM circle with a spider and a web inside and SHULTZmarke for a brand name below the spider. I have tried to do a google search but nothing comes up. This is probably dated back to World War 2 and or close to that era. It looks like a leather shoulder holster or a carry case for something that can be accessed easily from turning a silver ring clasp and opening a flap. It also has to buckle straps at the top and one in the front like a 3 point harness. Strange to say the least. Any ideas?
I thought it might be a shoulder holster but the flap closes up the whole case. It's wide at the top and narrow at bottom so I'm not inclined to think it's a gun holster unless it's for a very small hand gun. The top opening is only about 4" wide. I sure thought I could research the trademark but nothing comes up about the name with a spider and a web with the name SCHUTZ MARKE. Very strange.
The Max Fliegenschmidt company manufactured a very small revolver (no bigger than the palm of your hand) that had a folding trigger and chambered for a 7mm pin fire round.
Unfortunately, it doesn't say what year it was made. It just says "long ago", but the other firearms that it is grouped with were all manufactured in the early 1900's
The Schutz Marke name is associated with that revolver in an old book that I have, although it doesn't show a company monogram for them.
What you have might be the holster for that revolver that that company supplied for it.
There isn't to much information in my book (Antique Firearms Vol 2) that relates to it, but I found a picture of the revolver on the internet. I have included a link below.
Hope that helps
Good luck -
