Jon, I don't remember ever seeing a period photo of one of these. I have looked at many German paratroop photo's and all I have ever seen wore the regulation holster. P-38 or Luger. I can't say there would be any advantage to such a skeleton holster. At least I can't think of any and several disadvantages..no extra magazine and no tool..that and the pistol is exposed to the elements..water, mud, dust..snow. Just seems rediculous to me.
