Pisto,
Your holster is Army and a nice one at that.

P-08s aboard aircraft were generally only on transports or bombers; there simply wasn't enough room in a fighter cockpit for the pilot, his parachute, Mae west, maps, etc and a big P-08 rig. Consequently,fighter pilots carried smaller pistols. The most common was the FN 1910/22, followes by the Mauser hsc and the small Walthers.

Hope this helps,
Tom A.
