P-38 Ac 43 with matching nearly mint holster (43)

Post by rdj94a on Sat Jun 19, 2010 10:02 pm









This is not a repo holster, but the real deal, with white thread, gun is matching, with two P-38 clips with one of them marked. Bore has light pitting as you would expect from a wartime piece. No import marks, vet bring back.

I agree, I have seen many really nice P-38's but this is the finest WWII Nazi Hard shell P-38 holster I have ever seen. Thanks

I've liked them since old war movies as a kid, nice pistol and the holster seems well kept.

Gentleman I got it from said his uncle brought it back from the war and gave it to him in 1960, he has had it since that time. He said he had fired it twice in all those years.

That's sharp! That's neat piece of history. You should try and get more of the story behind it if possible.

What are the code letters on the holster? The pistol was made by Walther.

I have assembled a pocket book of firearm related German WW2 common codes. I get $5.00 for them delivered. The book has codes for firearms, ammunition, Leather goods and optics.

That's a nice P-38. I too have one with the original holster. My Grandfather brought it back from Germany when his duty was done after WWII. When he was asked how he acquired the Nazi weapon his only response was, "The soldier that I took it from didn't need it anymore." He left it to me. I've often wondered what it's worth but, I'd never get rid of it.
