Hi Jerry,

I agree that 1935 military holsters are rare. I see a police once in a while but, very rarely, a military.

I certainly haven't seen everything by a long shot but all the 1935 military holsters I have seen (5 or so) all had the cleaning rod sleeve and the flap for the patches. Maybe I have just been lucky but the statement I made was based on my personal observations.

Maybe the early 1935s had the extras and the later ones didn't. If that is the case, I guess I have never seen a late one. Another possiblity is that some holster makers continued the 1934 additions and others didn't.

Here is a link to the 1935 military P.08 holsters that I have. The second has had the flap for the patches removed. Since you have a 1935 military without the extras, then I stand corrected that all 1935s were made like the 1934s.
