More surprises coming from the Police pistol I initially posted. The owner brought in a cut down police holster, which was captured with the gun, but heavily altered into a shoulder holster by the GI who captured it, (The GI was Thomas A Owens, 1922-2010, who wrote a book about his experiences called "An ordinary man in extraordinary times").
http://www.amazon.com/An-Ordinary-Ma...ordinary+times The holster is marked A. Fisher, Berlin C2, 1929, has the police sunburst and police Unit mark L.33.133, (overstamped and obscured and only partially readable). Also there is a spare magazine, aluminum bottom, marked "3" at the top, 6296, no suffix, "+" and has what looks like a starburst and K as a proof. The aluminum bottom seems to also have a strange insert, like later mags, visible only on one side. There were also several ammunition boxes; one WW1, several WW2 and one 1943 dated .22 box.
