P38 Holster Transformation

Rich, Thanks! Well..as fascinating as this pistol and holster are they are both pretty much a one of "style"?

The holster is kind of weird when you think about it. The "flashlight" attachment must be off of the pistol to be inserted into the holster. Where was it carried then? The holster MIGHT be a modification of a standard commercial Luger holster..Even if made new why is it so much different as the pistol with out the flashlight is pretty much the same as any other Luger? It appears they have just gone to a severe mod to get rid of the pull-up strap.
Questions with no sure answers to be had.
As far as what this type of side flap holster might be called..side flap holster I guess.

The stud is hammered onto the side flap. This method holds the side flap and the top closed all at once.
