Still going through pictures...
This is a holster I bought from a private WWI museum in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago. I also bought a canvas TM08 carrier and a WWI lanyard attached to a P08.
What makes this piece odd is that it is coated with what seems to be a rubber paint. The fellow who owns the museum told me that it was the second he had seen.
Has anyone here ever seen such a holster? Any idea as to what the story behind it might be?
