Fantasy Piece?
I just saw this on a Facebook forum and everything about it looks wrong.
Has anybody ever seen an "Austrian Police" holster like this one? https://www.facebook.com/groups/Milc...8701462959904/ |

The marking on the back says it all. It's an Austrian post war police holster, with bogus markings added of course.

The circular stamp on the inside of the lid is a typical Nazi era government document stamp such as used on a marriage certificate, hunting license, driver license, etc. There are a blue million of these stamps floating around.
