Submitted from out of my collection is the lowest recorded original waffenamt 35A known and its unissued holster dated Jun 1940. I trust that one will find it acceptable.

WOW, Very, very nice. Super holster! I have a similar holster that was modified to look more "German". Smaller flap added, attaching rings removed leaving just the two straps on back. Came with a WaA251 35A. Thanks for posting. Dean

Absolutely the best 35A Holster I have seen!! My 35A, WaA251 came in a modified HP Holster along with the capture papers stuffed in the toe!! That is really a beautiful rig!!

For your information, an exact holster was on ebay this week from a seller from France and was as good but was dated 3/39. Apparently it was a true auction as two people wanted it rather intensely as it sold for $338. Personnally, I was happy to see it go that high but in all honesty, it was a tad over the line. But who knows !?!

As you once said, quality is expensive.
