C'mon guys! It's a standard LYO P-38 as some astute posters have indicated. These were likely made with conscripted labor in Poland. Not up to the usual quality of the normal German P-38 holster. But almost always found in original brown for some reason unless dyed black by someone somewhere. Yes they are scarce if not rare..especially in good condition.
The twisted toe is not at all unusual on German holsters. You see it to varying degrees on many holsters. It occours when the holster front is sewn to the back. A misalignment of the two pieces causes them to twist at the toe.

I think the soft leather, long stitching and in general a perceived quality issue is what affects price on these. You would think the color would make up for it some but it doesn't seem to.
