John,
may be you are right!!!
Actually I believe this item was made in the Weimar era or during WWII. According to Gortz, the production of this tool have followed all production of P08. Gortz suggests, also the hypothesis of maintaining the holster shape, the hypothesis that this item was used by soldier during formal services were the real pistol was not necessary. Actually this item is less heavy than the real pistol. I guess this hypothesis not so realistic.
If you look at the purchase order I have added in the picture you could see that the Truppenwaffenmeister received this kind of tool.
Have you any idea about the scope of the Truppenwaffenmeister? Are them in charge of maintaining guns and accessories?

Ciao
