My very favorite story about the 'TAKEN OFF THE STILL WARM BODY OF AN 'SS' OFFICER" happened to me about 15 years ago. I was contacted by a man who had P08 for sale! I ran right over to Benicia and low and behold...he brought out a Nambu T14 holster [canvas type].

After hearing the story about it being taken off the body of the SS officer, ...I said. "That is a Jap holster!"

Without blinking an eye...the seller said, "I didn't know the SS used Jap Holsters?"

The guy then told me how he wanted big bucks for the gun. I said ..How Much'...he said $500 but make an offer?

Finally, he handed me the holster/gun.....would you believe and absolutely MINT 100% 1906 .30 cal Com'l? Not Germany marked...

So, being a nice guy, I offered $450 if he included the holster.......!

I had troubles walking out with the rig without doing a dance while singing and shouting!!!!

you can see a photo of the same gun on page 633-634 of the STANDARD CATALOG OF FIREARMS 11th edition.
