I'm new to this forum so I thought I'd post a pic of my favorite non-German Nazi issue pistol. I picked this up at a local pawnshop for a steal of a deal. After I paid for it, the guy says, "Here's the holster and spare mag for it. Might as well throw them in too." Folded up in a Red Cross envelope in the holster I found the capture papers! The holster is marked with what looks like CLG44 under the securing strap and WaA866 with an eagle swastika under the edge of the flap. Here's the pics.

You have a very nice combination with the capture papers.
