repo hoster for paratroopers
As always - buy the product, not the story. Interesting none the less.
http://egun.de/market/item.php?id=2955957 Megaseltenes Zubehörteil für die legendäre P 08 Luger. Extremely rare accessory for the legendary P08 Luger, Wehrmacht Repro Pistolentasche für Fallschirmjäger der Wehrmacht. Reproduction military holster for paratroopers Die Konstruktion der Tasche u. die Technik der 08 Pistole erlaubt das mit der im Holster befindlichen Waffe geschossen werden kann. Am Hülsenauswurf u. im Bereich des Kniegelenk ist die Waffe frei. The construction of the holster allows the P08 to be fired while still in the holster and the toggle is able to eject the shell case Wir kannten das Holster bis Anfang des Jahres auch nur aus der Literatur. We have only seen this design earlier only in books. Anfang des Jahres hatten wir die einmalige Gelegenheit ein original Exponat aus einem kleinen Französischen Museum bei Caen in der Normandie einzutauschen. Earlier this year we were allowed the one time opportunity to obtain an original example from a small museum near Caen in Normandy. Nach diesem Teil wurde nun diese absolut 100% identische Kopie erstellt !!!!! From the original we are able to provide a 100% identical copy. Last edited by Roadkill; 09-24-2010 at 05:42 PM. |

Boy I'd sure like to see a Luger eject and load a new round upon firing from that rig!!

RK, you don't post on the forum near as much as you should! Nice to hear from you.
Thanks for the interesting photo and translation... Yeah, the Luger could be fired ONCE, but not with any reliability for more than one shot... ...and if you were a paratrooper, and needed your pistol fast, how would you like to have to get that belt buckle undone and get your pistol out in a hurry because of a firefight? As the famous U.S. Border Patrolman, and author, Bill Jordan used to say... "There is no second place winner in a gunfight." An interesting carrying design for perhaps attachment to a backpack, but likely just a use by a leather cobbler with a buckle/belt for which he had no other purpose... Looks like he wrapped it around a Luger and had an idea... a bad idea. Just my $0.02

These have been discussed previously. They are Spanish issue.

That might explain why Spain hasn't won a war in a number of centuries...
