Interesting P.08 Holster "gjh 41"
Recently picked this one up. Someone told me it has a canadian service number inside? I couldn't find a list of makers for ww2 P.08 holsters so thought I'd share it here. I haven't seen to many holsters with the "P.08" stamp in between the belt loops, is this common? Also noticed the extra period "." after "P.08."?
Cheers, Rylan |

You holster was made in 1941 by Rudoph Conte, Offenbach (maker code "gjh".)
The "P08" marking between the belt loops was commonly found by this maker dated between 1941-1942. Nice find!  Matt

It is more common to find the PO8 in the back upper right. However Luger holsters were made by many manufacturers so differences are expected. Bill
