You have a rare and valuable pistol. Please look at the inside back of the holster and see if it has an Eagle 2 proof...similar but larger than the one on the right front rail of the pistol. If present, that makes the holster original Luftwaffe issue. It is not a detractor if not present as the P-prefix on the serial number indicates this gun was rejected by the Luftwaffe and entered commercial commerce.

The very low serial number tells me the gun was probably made in 1934; likewise the caliber makes it "out of the ordinary".
