I know almost nothing about holsters.
People here are, in my opinion, the most knowledgeable of all the fourm I belong to. So I need some help on these old holsters.
I got these with some pistols a few months ago.
They were with the pistols from the 50's or 60's.
Belonged to a WWII Air Corps vet who was stationed in England.
I got one of his carry pistols, 38 S&W MP and one he brought back, Luger.
Really wanted the Colt 1911, but the friend who turned me on to these bought that one.

First one has no markings, that I can find.
It's leather.
Button looks to be brass.

Second one is marked, best I can make it out:
ROMOLOWSKISYNDWIE
KATOWICE
Leather.
Button looks to be aluminium.
Bottom has been cut out. Probably to fit a longer barrel.

Third is marked:
Hand made by Viking
Mexico
Leather.
Snap is metal.

What I'd like to know is if any of these has any collectors value.
What they maybe worth.

I can tell you this much - Katowice is Polish. I'd guess you have the holster for the Polish military side arm of WWII, but I'm not sure what that was.

The long thin one on the right is a Slim Jim, made for a long barred single action revolver.

Looks like it is missing the belt loop.
