John,

as your Schambach 1943 Ersatz holster could feel a little bit lonely, I like to show him at least photos of his war-time buddy.

Just recently I acquired this Schambach & Co 1943 police holster, made of an “Ersatz” (substitute) vinyl-like material – just like yours. Difference: the police acceptance marking is the “eagle with B outside” eagle, not the “eagle with B on chest” like on yours.

I was hoping to get a holster in which a Sauer 38/H was carried – unfortunately, there never has been in something else but a Walther PP (or PPK, I’m not sure).



“Unfortunately”, as I do not collect Walthers.


Regards

Martin

Nice find Martin. These unusual outside B's are found as early as 1940 and then are used sporadically throughout the remaining years up to 1943 as I have determined to date. I assume it was another inspector with a different die or location, one. In the later part of the thirties we found a number of different sized eagle B's being used as the police authorities apparently weren't concerned with exact copies of the original die but only similarities, of course in my opinion.
