Odd Holster Morbid story

wayne8661 · 11-13-2011, 02:31 PM

Gentlemen Can anyone help me out with this? I am being offered this from a trusted collector friend of mine who picked this up and I may or may not purchase it.

The story goes as this from the veterans wife. The gentlman who brought this home was attached to a Grave registration unit and was assinged to bury bodies in Normandy just days after the d-day landings.

He picked this pistol off of a decomposing german paratrooper, I can go more into depth with this when I have more free time.

Needless to say the pistol is really rough the finish is eaten away it looks like it was on a body for days.

My question is the holster here are my questions about it.

Why only one belt hanger?

Why no Magazine compartment.

No Markings.

Has anyone seen these before?
