S/42 rig Cpl.
Taken from a German motorcycleordonnans in 1943 - shot dead in Norway by a Norwegian mil.org. They also took his mp40.
I believe the WaA on holster is WaA387? All number match, also the grip plates! Enjoy!

Story is true - told by the former owner, family of the one that shot and took the gun!

To me it's absolutely a stunning rig, sorry for the German soldier. Thanks for sharing. Sergio

Can't improve on that rig - and the pistol has just the right amount of wear - nice!
