9/19/18 - This is an original 1940 dated P.38 holster made during WW2 for military use. This was one of the first years the P.38 was being produced, so finding holsters 1940 dated is very hard to do. The holster is in great condition overall with all original leather and stitching. The back of the holster is 1940 dated with a waffen eagle proof and jkb maker stamp. The leather has some normal wear and pliability but fairly clean overall. Guaranteed original and authentic.
