Description

Breakaway holster made in peeble grained black leather (except the spare magazine pouch)  with an unusual side butt protection (which is quite typical from the East German production).

You find also the traces from the combination tool pouch placed under upper flap.

There are no markings.

So this is a MIXED P38 & PO8 holster made for East German forces but built on the same manner (same material & same tools !) as the nazis P38 soft shell holsters (with some small differences : butt protection & tool pouch).

This holster is detailed in the book WW2 German Military Holsters on page 71.
