Well that story wouldn't be nearly as entertaining as a tale!Very nice. Check the holster for any stamps on the back or markings. I have a book here in the shop on ww2 military holsters and if you give me the "code" markings I should be able to tell you who made the holster.
Oh, and also thank you for not starting the thread "My grandpa took this off of a dead German officer," like so many of these threads start. I am not saying it didn't happen but geez louise SOME German officers just surrendered their arms didn't they?
