Holster position help

Nick · 01-09-2015, 12:45 PM

I have a repro P.08 holster, with belt and shoulder strap. I was wondering how this would have been worn during WW2. I cant find any good references that tell how to wear the holster and gun. Please help.

No World War 2 German holster ever had shoulder straps. You may be looking at a reproduction early Swiss holster or?

The luger was normally worn on the left side . Regular military belt and holster. No straps. Bill
