Sheepherder:

I never posted this question to do any more than get some answers on the holster. Yes, there is a story behind it, but I'm not trying to sell something. I was only looking to verify the holster was WW2 vintage.

The "08" was in this holster when it was given to me. The event he got it was related by his wife to me. I, like you, take any story with a grain of salt. Therefore, my question on the holster. I don't want to think I have something that I assumed was WW2 and find out it was a post war souvenir. He brought this weapon home from Europe and it reportedly stayed in his old footlocker until he died.

I was merely trying to ascertain the holster matched the time frame the 08 was liberated.

BTW, he wasn't Patton's Chaplain.
