Nazi German Type III Leather Holster for the Walther P38 Pistol. L 215. Nazi German Type III Leather Holster for the Walther P38 Pistol. L 215. Antique & Militaria

The Walther P38 (originally written Walther P.38) is a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol that was developed by Carl Walther GmbH as the service pistol of the Wehrmacht at the beginning of World War II. It was intended to replace the comparatively complex and expensive to produce Luger P08. As the previous service pistol, the Luger P08, was expensive to produce, Germany started to look for a replacement as early as 1927, settling on the Walther P38 in 1938, which offered similar performance to the Luger P08 but took almost half the time to produce. Height – 9.3” and maximum flap width 6.4”. See page 187 of German Pistols and Holsters Volume 1 by Lt Col Robert Whittington III for reference. In very good condition with all stitching intact. The price includes UK delivery. L 215.
