Die Koffertasche für die Pistole 08 kennt jeder. Hier sehen Sie eine 08 in einem Holster, das nur für Fallschirmjäger entwickelt wurde. Es ermöglichte - im Falle einer Gefangennahme - die Abgabe eines Schusses aus der Hüfte, ohne die Waffe ziehen zu müssen. Eine geniale Erfindung! Sehr seltenes Stück! Gestempelt auf der Rückseite mit P.08 und WaA. Es steht nur das Holster zum Verkauf. Die Waffe dient lediglich der Demonstration. Der Fangriemen wird in einer gesonderten Auktion angeboten.

Everybody knows the hardshell pouch for the Luger 08. Here you see a Luger in a holster, only produced for paratroopers. With this holster it was possible - in case of seizure - to do one shoot directly from the hip. Marked on the backside with "P08" and "WaA". Only the holster is for sale, the pistol is for demonstration. The catching sling is in a separate auction.

I don't buy the "story".:confused:At least the seller should show the WaA marking.

I've seen similar, called "Tropical Hoslters" which dosen't make sense. A Fallschirmjäger holster makes more sense, since everything had a weight consideration.

Not convinced about the "shooting from the hip" part..

Would that strap across the toggle prevent the action from cycling? Regards

Me neither, a quick pull holster would make more sence.
The toggle can't even work while shooting out of the shown holster.

Just another Luger fairy tale...

Maybe that is why they lost so many paratroopers?? :confused: best to all, til...lat'r..GT:)

That's why the ad states that ONE shot was possible from the holster, which I believe is accurate.

Whether the story of its issue is true I have no idea.

And the myth's continue. Bill

Here is a similar "holster" I purchased a few months ago and some period photos.
I sold this thing recently, it was too ugly.

Christisn's (Laoshi) photo should aswer any questions about the origin of the holster. Neither the fellows in the two photos nor the holster is German.

Ron Smith 05-10-2010 03:30 PM

Are they Spanish?

laoshi75 05-10-2010 03:36 PM

Specimen of "ersatz" cheap holsters for some units of the Esercito della Republica di Salò, created by Mussolini after the Armistice of September 1943. I was told that some of these holsters were German made (for the Italian market), but like George I have doubt..

Ron Smith 05-10-2010 03:47 PM

Do the Italian issue Lugers have any special markings or characteristics? I wasn't aware that they were issued Lugers.

laoshi75 05-10-2010 03:50 PM

I precise that the markings on the back of the holster are not german. the eagle is not WaA stamp, more probably an Italian eagle.

laoshi75 05-10-2010 03:51 PM

Ron,

Just german Lugers given by German Army to Italian forces, without specific markings, IMHO.
