This is a very worn WWII issue brown pebbled leather \"breakaway\" holster for the Belgian-made Browning High Power pistol, complete with correct period markings. These pistols were put into German service when Belgium was occupied, and were popular for their high magazine capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe holster follows the standard soft shell \"high front\" design, with a front magazine pouch and top flap. It is marked on the back with \u003cstrong\u003ejkh\u003c\/strong\u003e, denoting manufacture by Carl Busse of Mainz. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe holster is complete and in fair service used condition, with the main condition issue being heavy wear and scuffing on the pebbled finish. The exterior finish is still mostly intact, and the stitching all looks to be intact and all original, with no repairs or popped seams. There is a hole in the belt loop on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a nice WWII marked example of a German Browning High Power pistol holster, and would make the perfect accessory for a German marked pistol that no longer has its holster. Ready to display!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Browning High Power pistol was a single-action, semi-automatic handgun based on a design by American firearms inventor John Browning, and completed by Dieudonné Saive at Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium. Browning died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized. FN Herstal initially named the design the \"High Power\", which alludes to the 13-round magazine capacity, almost twice that of other designs at the time, such as the Luger or Colt M1911. During World War II, Belgium was occupied by Germany and the FN factory was used by the Wehrmacht to build the pistols for their military, under the designation \"9mm Pistole 640(b)\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44809035612229,"sku":"ONJR23AOCT089","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR23AOCT089__01.jpg?v=1774292891","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-german-wwii-browning-high-power-holster-by-carl-busse-of-mainz","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
