Late Date Holster

Navy · 07-19-2002, 06:16 PM

Fellow Forum members,

I have acquired an unquestionably original P-08 holster dated 1945. It has no discernable makers marks. Only markings other than date are stamped number 8 to the right of each belt loop and a spurious but well scratched SS lightening bolts on reverse of barrel. Color is reddish brown that has had a poor quality black dye job that is worn off most of the piece.

Has anyone else seen 1945 dated holsters? Anyone have a clue about the maker or the significance of the number 8?
