Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice and crisp light tan soft shell leather pistol holster for an Officer’s 7.65mm handgun, most likely a Mauser HSc or a Walther PP. It is stamped on the rear with German wartime maker code joa and dated 1943 above what remains of an eagle over a swas stamp. The code joa is for maker Dresdner Koffer- & Taschsen-Fabrik Carl Heinichen, located at Dresden A21, Dornblüthstrasse 11-13.
The overall condition of the holster is quite, especially considering the age. Only the small stain on the muzzle end prevent it from grading excellent. The leather is supple, and has a lovely chestnut brown color. It has intact heavy stitching, original belt loops, and intact and functional closure strap, attached to the break away front. Magazine pouch does not have any of the usual wearing through at the bottom.
A really nice solid holster that will complete any WWII era Mauser HSc or similar sized 7.65mm pistol. Ready to use or display.
