Re: Okay you P-08 Holster experts... Here is a rare bird...
Hi Marvin,
If the pattern was a WWII design, I would say it was a commercial holster for sure. No WaA stamp and no Police Eagle, so it has to be a commercial holster. But with this design and the date, it just doesn't seem correct to me. You would have to look at the stitching and the holster very carefully and try to determine if it is a current restoration or a totally made up holster from used parts. This is one of those things that goes against all the rules. If it is real, then it is a rare item. But the trouble with rare and one of a kind items, is that there is nothing to compare them to. A person wants it to be real so bad, that he makes up stories or talks himself into thinking that it is possible, when actually, it should not be this way at all. The stamps are all out there to do what-ever you want with a holster. Death Head holster are around, and SS stamped holsters too. I don't know if this holster is real or not, as you would have to hold it and look at it in person to decide, and then that is only your opinion. What I'm stressing here is that this is not a normal holster, which should raise questions right away. You have to have rules and guide-lines to go by, or you will accept every fake there is out there, as you can always talk yourself into thinking that it is possible to be like it is.
