This is clearly a pigskin P-38 holster but the color is interesting; I haven't run across more than a hand full of brown ones over the years.

As a sidebar, I have two late war "Universal" (My terminology) holsters that are of the same P-38 break away design as the one pictured but have the luger skate key tool pouch sewn inside the flap. Both are Waffened. Although Bender's book lists these as East german, I believe that they are legit late war production; afterall, why make two types of holsters for two types of service pistols when one with a minor modification will suffice.

But, as no documentation has surfaced on these, it is simply my theory.
