Rather unusual modified Luger holster on ebay

John Sabato · 08-09-2002, 03:31 PM

Looks like a cross between a softshell P-38 holster and a Luger hardshell...it may have been modified by a GI to hold a 1911A1 or some other captured pistol... or may have been a rework of a Luger holster by a German armorer to the newer P-38 style. Anyone ever see anything like this before?

It's a Luger holster that's been modified for a P-38. I think there's a picture of one of these in Bender's book.
