1939 Berlin "Odd" Holster?

It looks like this holster started out as a standard military P08 holster, but that it was modified by cutting away parts of it.

If the photo shows the first owner with holster in situ, it should be enough to prove that he modified it. Modification of P08 holsters for easier access was mostly a GI hobby. The German army did not really approve or advocate the personal change of field gear.
