Original German WWII Walther P38 Leather Softshell Holsters - Set of 2
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a pair of two World War Two era P-38 pistol holsters in good condition. Both holsters are dark brown supple leather with no visible markings. One holster appears to have been dyed black. Both show use and age but are complete and solid and ready to be used.
The Walther Pistole 38 (P.38) pistol was first introduced in 1938 as a replacement for the P.08. The P.38 was a 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 close around 900,000 were produced, so the holsters were also produced in large quantities.
