The air-vents are actually pressed-in grommet inserts. The M40 helmet substituted stamped air-vents for the pressed grommet air-vents but retained the rolled rim. The M42 has an unrolled rim to further cut time and machinery needs in helmet production. The M35 was produced until mid-1940 when the helmet manufacturers switched their tooling to produce the M40 version. During 1942 the specifications for a rolled rim were eliminated and manufacturers began switching to the M42 version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHistory of the German WW2 Helmet-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStahlhelm (plural Stahlhelme) is German for \"steel helmet\". The Imperial German Army began to replace the traditional boiled leather Pickelhaube (spiked combat helmet) with the Stahlhelm during World War I in 1916. The term Stahlhelm refers both to a generic steel helmet, and more specifically to the distinctive (and iconic) German design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stahlhelm, with its distinctive \"coal scuttle\" shape, was an instantly recognizable icon for military imagery and became a common element of military propaganda on both sides, just like the Pickelhaube before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWW2 Helmet Models-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eM1935\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1934 tests began on an improved Stahlhelm, whose design was a development of World War I models. The Eisenhüttenwerke company of Thale carried out prototype design and testing, with Dr. Friedrich Schwerd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new helmet was pressed from sheets of molybdenum steel in several stages. The size of the flared visor and skirt was reduced, and the large projecting lugs for the obsolete armor shield were eliminated. The ventilator holes were retained, but were set in smaller hollow rivets mounted to the helmet's shell. The edges of the shell were rolled over, creating a smooth edge along the helmet. Finally, a completely new leather suspension, or liner, was incorporated that greatly improved the helmet's safety, adjustability, and comfort for each wearer. These improvements made the new M1935 helmet lighter, more compact, and more comfortable to wear than the previous designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Army's Supreme Command officially accepted the new helmet on June 25, 1935 and it was intended to replace all other helmets in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 1 million M1935 helmets were manufactured in the first two years after its introduction, and millions more were produced until 1940 when the basic design and production methods were changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eM1940\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M1935 design was slightly modified in 1940 to simplify its construction; the manufacturing process now incorporating more automated stamping methods. The principal change was to stamp the ventilator hole mounts directly onto the shell, rather than utilizing separate fittings. In other respects, the M1940 helmet was identical to the M1935. The Germans still referred to the M1940 as the M1935, while the M1940 designation were given by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eM1942\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M1942 design was a result of wartime demands. The rolled edge on the shell was eliminated, creating an unfinished edge along the rim. This edge slightly flared out, along the base of the skirt. The elimination of the rolled edge expedited the manufacturing process and reduced the amount of metal used in each helmet. Shell paint colors towards the end of the war typically ran to matte gray-green, and the decals were gradually eliminated to speed up production and reduce the helmet's combat visibility. Greater manufacturing flaws were also observed in M42 helmets made late in the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWW2 German Helmet Manufactures Shell Markings-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn virtually all WWII German helmets you will also see the size stamp after the Manufacturing mark, such as Q66. In this case, you have a helmet manufactured by the Quist firm, size 66 cm. The sizes ran from very small of 60 cm, up to 70 cm. The majority of the WWII German helmets were manufactured in size 62, 64, and 66. Size 60 helmets as well as size 70 helmets are nearly impossible to find.

Five independently owned metal fabrication plants accomplished this massive effort with experience in steel production. The largest producer of steel helmets (Stahlhelme) was the firm of Eisenhüttenwerke located in the city of Thale. The Thale firm and its engineers played a major role in the initial design and prototyping of the M1935 steel combat helmet. Production records indicate that nearly 20 Million helmets were manufactured between early 1939 and May 1944. Beginning as early as 1935, manufacturers began marking their helmet shells with the initials of the factory or company names. Over the course of time, several of these changed making it initially appear as though there were more than five manufacturers. The change in the factory designated name and marking had to do with the fact that the company names changed. These factory names were stamped directly into the helmet shell using two or three letters. Next to the letters was stamped the metric shell size of the helmet. In addition to these markings, helmets also received a stamped number in the rear center of the helmet's flange or skirt. This second set of numbers indicated the production number of the entire lot to which the helmet could be attributed. In some cases, the Quist firm also produced helmets bearing a \"DN\" stamp in the same location. The \"DN\" referred to the patent identification associated with the helmet's model or type. It should be noted that on occasion a helmet might be found bearing no markings whatsoever. If the helmet is a wartime shell, the explanation generally falls into to possibilities. The first is that the markings are there but shallow or buried beneath a thick coat of paint. The second relates to the fact that some helmets do not appear to have been marked at all. This may be related to a factory error, or something done intentionally. No clear rational has been found to explain this uncommon occurrence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWartime manufactured German combat helmets were stamped with an alpha-numeric code under the flared rim of the helmet (often referred to as the skirt). This was done in order to help identify the shell size and maker. These markings were always placed in one of two places; the center of the left underside rim or the center rear of the skirt. This alpha-numeric code contained both the maker's initials and the metric shell size of the helmet in a single line. These markings were placed on all helmets made during World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers denoting the maker's mark and shell size were was placed on the left side of the helmet under the flared skirt. In cases where a given manufacturer chose to place their factory code markings on the rear skirt, the production code number always fell below the alpha-numeric factory code. The firm of Quist moved their maker's marks to the rear of the helmet sometime during 1942 or 1943. These marks remained in that location for the duration of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the factory maker code markings, a second set of stamps were placed into the shell to denote which production run (or lot number) the helmet had come from. Virtually all wartime manufactured helmets have the production run number stamped into the shell. Only a handful of helmets do not and the reason for this remains unknown. Combat helmets show the markings at the rear of the helmet as do civic model helmets used by non-combat related organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production run number generally took the form of three or four digits representing the production run that a given helmet came from. The production run number is sometimes referred to as a \"lot number\" or more specifically a \"serial number.\" Occasionally helmets were also stamped with a \"DN\" above the production code at the back of the skirt. The \"DN\" was a patent mark that indicated that the helmet was manufactured in Germany.

This started with the PM wz. 43, a license-made Polish version of the famous Soviet PPS-43 Submachine Gun line, which began production in 1946. The PM in the designation stood for \"Pistolet Maszynowy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater in 1952 a modified form, the PM wz. 43\/52, was revealed to supersede it. This model retained all of the form and function of the original Soviet offering but was given specific alterations to suit Polish Army requirements as well as local industry. These included the addition of a wooden butt stock with the provision for a cleaning kit, and a sling swivel further back, which would better control and aim. However, the gains in accuracy were offset by gains in weight, so the PM wz. 43 and PM wz. 43\/52 were produced concurrently for years. From the period of 1952 until 1955, the Lucznik Arms Factory of Radom, Poland pushed out over 111,000 PPS and PPS-related submachine guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis legendary submachine gun design was developed in Leningrad while the Germans had the city under siege during WW2. The designer, A. I. Sudarev, wanted a gun that could be manufactured with the resources available in the city. The result was the PPS 43, which has very few machined parts, depended on simple stampings, welding, and riveting for its construction. The design was so successful that it was adopted by the Soviet Army and used extensively during the rest of the war. These are seen extensively in pictures from the WWII eastern front and are an important part of a WW2 collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS or \"Pistolet-pulemyot Sudaeva\", in English: \"Sudaev's submachine-gun\") was a family of Soviet submachine guns chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev, developed by Alexei Sudayev as a low-cost personal defense weapon for reconnaissance units, vehicle crews and support service personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS and its variants were used extensively by the Red Army during World War II and were later adopted by the armed forces of several countries of the former Warsaw Pact as well as its many African and Asian allies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS was created in response to a Red Army requirement for a compact and lightweight weapon with similar accuracy and projectile energy to the Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun widely deployed at the time, with reduced rate of fire, produced at lower cost and requiring less manpower, particularly skilled manpower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSudaev was ordered by the State Commission for Armaments to perfect for large-scale production the sub-machine gun design of lieutenant I.K. Bezruchko-Vysotsky from the Dzerzhinsky Artillery Academy, who had created two prototypes in 1942; the second of these was the basis of Sudaev's gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring design, emphasis was placed on simplifying production and eliminating most machining operations; most of the weapon's parts were sheet-steel stamped. These measures reduced the number of machined components to a bare minimum, cutting down machining time by more than half, to 2.7 hours of machining instead of 7.3 hours for the PPSh-41. There were also savings of over 50% in raw steel usage, down to 6.2 kg instead of 13.9 kg, and fewer workers were required to manufacture and assemble the parts. Thanks to the improvements in production efficiency, the Soviet planners estimated that the new gun would have allowed an increase in monthly submachine gun output from 135,000 units to 350,000 weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrototypes were field tested between 26 April and 12 May 1942; the evaluation commission's report was largely favorable, but still proposed some minor improvements mostly aimed at strengthening the gun's structure. By July, Shpagin had finished his own improved model (PPSh-2), and it was pitted in field trials against the PPS, which was found superior in most respects: accuracy, reliability, maneuverability.[4] (This was apparently a large scale contest, in which 20 designs participated. On July 28, 1942 GAU head N.D. Yakovlev and his aide Ivan Novikov presented Sudaev's gun to the State Defense Committee for approval. The firearm was accepted into service as the PPS-42 (Russian: ????????-??????? ???????—??? or Pistolet Pulemyot Sudayeva model of 1942). The weapon was put into small-scale production during the Siege of Leningrad; mass production did not commence until early 1943 at the Sestroretsk Arsenal (over 45,000 weapons were produced before being replaced by the improved PPS-43). The factory in charge for the pilot production starting in December 1942 was the Sestroretsk Tool Factory. The first series guns were presented for personal inspection to Andrei Zhdanov and Leonid Govorov in the same month. The full-scale production began in 1943, and the official count of PPS-42 guns produced was 46,572. Most were used during the military trials by the soldiers of the Leningrad Front. The military trials officially took place between January and April 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the massive investment already made in machinery for PPSh-41 production, which was already being produced in more than a million pieces per year, it turned out it would have been uneconomical to completely abandon its production in favor of the PPS. By end of the war some two million PPS-43 submachine guns were made. Due to the oversupply of the Soviet army with submachine guns after the war, production of the PPS in the Soviet Union ceased in 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last two years of the war, Sudaev continued to experiment with improvements for his submachine gun. Six of his later prototype models, made in 1944 and 1945, are found in the Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps. These have variations in bolt shape and weight, as well as more obvious outward differences like a wooden, non-folding stock or a folding bayonet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS remained in service with some Soviet forces until the mid-1950s. Among the last to relinquish it were crews of armored vehicles and the Naval Infantry.

However, these helmets were made in the same factory, on the same machines and by some of the very same people that produced them for Germany in WWII. They are nearly identical to WWII issue M40’s, (and are often sold as such) with the classic rolled edge, correct steel thickness, and pressed ventilation holes. Furthermore, we have very good reason to believe that some of these shells are \"sanitized\" German WWII M35 and M40 helmets; meaning some are genuine WWII shells that had all stampings rubbed out and original paint removed to avoid the allied ban on West Germany selling war materiel after WW2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather liners and chinstraps were made in Finland for the Finnish army; styles vary, as some of the helmets were used up until the early 1970s. The shells do however, accept our splendid reproduction M35 WWII leather helmet liner and chinstrap with reproduction WW2 split pin and washer sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyles and colors (Field Grey, Field Green) may vary slightly so please see photos for variation examples. These are offered in \"Scratch \u0026amp; Dent\" condition and will have significant dents, scratches, etc in the shell, as well as possible damage to the liner. These are real surplus military helmets that were used by actual soldiers in the defense of their country, and some of them did not fare as well over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a rare chance to own a genuine military issue German made M40 WWII style helmet for the almost the same price as a Chinese or Indian made reproduction.

Since IMA acquired the last of all the known helmet stock from the Finnish government you may wonder did we get German WWII marked helmets? Yes, and they will be offered at a far higher price. Did we get other types of helmets? Yes, we also received Hungarian WWII M38 (1938) helmets as well. This deal is a treasure trove of WWII era combat helmet history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory the German \u0026amp; Finnish Alliance-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1938 Finland became very concerned with Stalin's Soviet expansionism and turned to Great Britain and France for support. Both Countries were under supplied themselves so Finland, perhaps reluctantly turned to NSDAP Germany for aid. AH was swift to assist supplying great quantities of materiel including thousands of German Battle Helmets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Russians invaded Finland in 1939 driving deep into the country. The Finns resisted with amazing tenacity that has been the subject of legend and the wonderful WW2 Movie \"THE WINTER WAR\" (offered by IMA).

Finland totally exhausted agreed with great regret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1941 AH's NSDAP War Machine invaded the Soviet Union driving everything before them. Finland whom had received so much help from Germany then rose up and drove the Soviet presence out of Finland.

The members of Kev Os. 4 enthusiastically adopted the nickname, with many painting a skull and bones on their helmet fronts to further terrify their enemies. Despite inflicting terrible losses on the invading Soviets, the Finns had lost the Winter War by March, 1940. The Finns would later join the Axis forces in their June, 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, hoping to recover territory lost in the previous treaty with Moscow. The skull painted helmets went with\u003cspan class=\"truncate_ellipsis\"\u003e...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Continuation War was a conflict fought by Finland and NSDAP Germany, as co-belligerents, against the Soviet Union (USSR) from 1941 to 1944, during World War II. In Russian historiography, the war is called the Soviet–Finnish Front of the Great Patriotic War.[Note 4] Germany regarded its operations in the region as part of its overall war efforts on the Eastern Front and provided Finland with critical material support and military assistance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Continuation War began 15 months after the end of the Winter War, also fought between Finland and the USSR. There have been numerous reasons proposed for the Finnish decision to invade, with regaining territory lost during the Winter War being regarded as the most common. Other justifications for the conflict included President Ryti's vision of a Greater Finland and Commander-in-Chief Mannerheim's desire to retake Karelia. Plans for the attack were developed jointly between the Wehrmacht and a faction of Finnish political and military leaders with the rest of the government remaining ignorant. Despite the co-operation in this conflict, Finland never formally signed the Tripartite Pact that had established the Axis powers and justified its alliance with Germany as self-defence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn June 1941, with the start of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Finnish Defence Forces launched their offensive following Soviet airstrikes. By September 1941, Finland had reversed its post–Winter War concessions to the Soviet Union by retaking the Karelian Isthmus and Ladoga Karelia. However, the Finnish Army continued the offensive past the pre-1939 border with the conquest of East Karelia, including Petrozavodsk, as well as halting only around 30–32 km (19–20 mi) from the centre of Leningrad, where they participated in besieging the city by cutting its northern supply routes and digging in until 1944.[Note 5] In Lapland, joint German–Finnish forces failed to capture Murmansk or cut the Kirov (Murmansk) Railway, a transit route for lend-lease equipment to the USSR. The conflict stabilised with only minor skirmishes until the tide of the war turned against the Germans and the Soviet Union's strategic Vyborg–Petrozavodsk Offensive in June 1944. The attack drove the Finns from most of the territories they had gained during the war, but the Finnish Army halted the offensive in August 1944.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHostilities between Finland and the USSR ended with a ceasefire, which was called on 5 September 1944, formalised by the signing of the Moscow Armistice on 19 September 1944. One of the conditions of this agreement was the expulsion, or disarming, of any German troops in Finnish territory, which led to the Lapland War between the former co-belligerents. World War II was concluded formally for Finland and the minor Axis powers with the signing of the Paris Peace Treaties in 1947. The treaties resulted in the restoration of borders per the 1940 Moscow Peace Treaty, the ceding of the municipality of Petsamo (Russian: Pechengsky raion) and the leasing of Porkkala Peninsula to the USSR. Furthermore, Finland was required to pay $300 million in war reparations to the USSR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e63,200 Finns and 23,200 Germans died or went missing during the war in addition to 158,000 and 60,400 wounded, respectively. Estimates of dead or missing Soviets range from 250,000 to 305,000 while 575,000 have been estimated to have been wounded or fallen sick. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn world war two Hungary was an ally of Germany. The Germans allowed and assisted the Hungarians in copying their design of the M35 steel helmet. Therefore, the WWII produced M38 Hungarian steel helmet is nearly identical to the German WWII M35. Both have the same shape, riveted ventilation holes, and the classic rolled edge. The minor differences between the M38 helmet and the German M35 was the liner system, liner pin position, as well as the addition of a small horizontal rectangular carrying hook above the back brim of the Hungarian helmet used to attach the helmet to a backpack when on the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Model 1938 Hungarian helmet was one of the most common types used by the Finnish Army during the Continuation War of 1941-44. The Finns originally wanted to acquire the German M35 during the Winter War of 1939-40 to supplement their old stock of German WWI M17 \u0026amp; M18 helmets however, the German government refused the order and sent it to the Hungarians instead. Apparently this was done for political reasons as the Germans were technically still \"allied\" to the Soviets (who the Finns were fighting) during the Winter War of 1939-40. Though the order was placed in December 1939, the first helmet wasn't shipped until after the end of the Winter War in March 1940, which is why they were used extensively during the Continuation War of 1941-44.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyles and colors (Field Grey, Field Green) may vary slightly so please see photos for variation examples. Each helmet is offered in good to very good condition, but will show storage wear, minor paint chips and scratches, and occasionally a small ding but all are free of major dents or imperfections. After all, these are real WWII manufactured and issued military helmets that were used by actual soldiers in the defense of their country. Additionally the Finnish Army used some of these helmets from WWII up until the early 1970s. Lead time on these helmets is variable, as they are all hand-painted, and during times of peak demand may take over a week to ship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe companies that manufactured the M38 were Mavag of Budapest, Weiss of Csepel, and Gyori Vaggon-es Gepgyar. We believe that all these shells have maker and shell size markings stamped to the inside of the brim. However, because these helmets have been painted and repainted, in some cases, multiple times, it is impossible for us to see if each one is marked without using paint stripper or a wire wheel. So, if you absolutely must have a visible marking then please request it by choosing the special hand select option and accept that we will have to remove the paint in order to do so, which may effect the aesthetic appeal of the helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather liners and chinstraps are a mix, most were made in Finland for the Finnish army after WWII. Some may have the original Hungarian made leather liner, however these are extremely rare and often in poor condition, so are unable to accept any requests for these. Liners also vary in form from a Finnish M55 style to a German M35 style to a WWI style three sided type. \u003cspan\u003eSome of these may also have required drilling additional liner holes in the helmet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing- we offer a range of sizes, but we sell these helmets based on the interior liner size, not shell size. However, a general rule of thumb is; size 55\/56cm liners are usually inside size 62 shells, size 57\/58cm liners are usually inside size 64\/66 shells, and size 59cm and above liners are 66\/68 shells. We cannot honor requests for specific shell sizes; we only honor requests for liner size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a rare chance to own a genuine WWII M38 Hungarian made German type M35 WWII helmet at far less than half the price of a German manufactured wartime one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory of the German \u0026amp; Finnish Alliance-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1938 Finland became very concerned with Stalin's Soviet expansionism and turned to Great Britain and France for support. Both Countries were under supplied themselves so Finland, perhaps reluctantly turned to NSDAP Germany for aid. AH was swift to assist supplying great quantities of materiel including thousands of German Battle Helmets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Russians invaded Finland in 1939 driving deep into the country. The Finns resisted with amazing tenacity that has been the subject of legend and the wonderful WW2 Movie \"THE WINTER WAR\" (offered by IMA).

Although there were modest changes, the basic manufacture did not change until the Great War. War time would have seen three primary variations of buckles. The first was the standard 1895 model. This model is easily distinguished by its brass body and soldered nickel\/silver roundel, which would bear the insignia and motto of the German state for whom it was made. Those states using a roundel were as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrussia - Gott Mit Uns (God is With Uns)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBavaria - In Treue Fest (In True Faith)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWurttemberg - Furcthlos und Treu (Fearless and Loyal)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaxony - Providentiae Memor (Providence in Mind)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther smaller states had their own unique buckles that did not use a roundel, such as Hessia. The 1895 buckles saw action primarily at the beginning of the war (although some certainly would have been used throughout). It was decided in 1915 to change the manufacture. The reason was two fold, to do away with the bright brass on the battlefield, and to ration precious resources. In 1915, steel buckles were introduced. During 1915, the bodies were made out of steel, but soldered roundels were still applied. In 1916, it was decided to simply stamp the entire buckle out of one piece of steel and do away with the roundels altogether. The steel buckles were typically painted with grey field paint to prevent any shine. Belt buckles were occasionally makers marked and dated. It is also possible to find them with regimental markings. For the most part, dated and marked examples are brass models and are most commonly seen on Saxon buckles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Made Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":26168075909,"sku":"AGG8312","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/agg8312__1.jpg?v=1602083266"},{"product_id":"german-wwii-p08-luger-black-leather-hardshell-holster","title":"German WWII P08 Luger Black Leather Hardshell Holster","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew Made Item: A magnificent replica of WWII era Luger hard shell holster of high quality black leather.
