GERMAN WW2 PO8 LUGER HOLSTER BLACK HARD SHELL

Original WW2 issue black leather holster for P.08 Luger pistol.  Originally black but wearing away to brown in places . Has the owner German SS Gunner Waske's name written inside of holster flap.

This p.o8 holster is unmarked and front strap has a rip in it . Should be able to be repaired. 

The P08 was the standard sidearm of Nazi Germany  Starting in 1933 the Luger remained in production until 1943 when production was stopped in favour of the P-38 Walther Pistol which was first adopted in 1939.

Received from the Royal Winnipeg Rifles Museum, Canada, this was from a set of German field gear with 8 pieces hanging from the belt and y-strap . We have now separated everything from the German field gear grouping to sell it separately.  This Luger holster is one piece of the group of 8.   

The museum was selling off some of there museum’s items, to make room for more.  The museum called it deaccessioning surplus museum artifacts.

The SS soldier who owned these pieces during WWII was SS Gunner, Waske. 

The museum numbers their items for inventory purposes and you will see that there is a very small white numbered sticker on this item put there by the museum.  They are very easy to remove.
