Default Re: P-08 Artillery holster price check

Sorry for the confusion stemming from my incomplete or inaccurate description of the holster in question. Besides, French is my native language (I'm posting from Qu�©bec) and it probably doesn't help. The holster I'm talking about is similar to any other standard P-08 holster (in fact, it is almost identical to the one described on page 184 of Robert D. Whittington's book "German pistols and holsters 1934-1945") except it is longer and obviously manufactured to fit a P-08 with a 8" barrel. What is missing is the lanyard seen on the P-08 holster on that same page, that is, the lanyard that keeps the holster flap closed by the stud. At first glance there are no traces of repairs on this holster that has two belt loops but an expert might possibly find otherwise. Although I have never seen the true Artillery holster except on pictures, this one possibly has been manufactured or modified as is so as not to be part of a rig; this is why it is quite different. Just thought it was a variation to be used without the wooden stock and strap as there is no provision to retain the stock and strap. In other words, this holster is intended to be worn on the soldier's belt without the rest of the rig just like any other P-08 holster except for a pistol fitted with a 8" barrel. Hope this helps.
