Original German WWII Walther P38 Black Leather Softshell Holster by Gustav Sudbrack of Bielefeld - Pistole 38
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a great condition WWII production black finished leather holster for the standard issue Walther P-38 pistol in 9mm. This holster is nicely marked with fkx / 4 indicating 1944 production by Gustav Sudbrack of Bielefeld, a maker of galoshes, footwear, and leather goods. It’s marked P38 very faintly on the upper right rear. This example is in great shape with just some scuffing and nicks to the flap area.
A perfect addition to any WW2 Walther P.38 pistol in need of an excellent condition original holster.
The Walther Pistole 38 (P.38) pistol was first introduced in 1938 as a replacement for the P.08. The P.38 was more cost-efficient and more reliable in war conditions such as mud and rain. The P.08 was a typical prewar German gun, over engineered to perfection, with a sensitive toggle breech system that would malfunction when dirt was involved. The P.38 was a workhorse that did just what it was meant to do. It could handle most harsh battlefield conditions and as such the closed hardshell holster was discontinued later in the war and replaced for a partially open softshell holster. During the War’s close around 900,000 were produced, so the holsters were also produced in large quantities.
