Last month I found a nice little WTP1 holster to accompany the pistol I have had for a couple of years.
A nice match and an interesting military style WTP holster with a separate pouch which contained the cleaning rod.
Enjoy,

Hi Vilm,
I have an almost identical holster, less the cleaning rod pouch. Nice example of a WTP I with Austrian proofs.

Very nice - is the inscription on the inside an ordinary post address?

I think it is but difficult to decipher. I will post some close ups when I get home.

That is one great looking rig. Congratulations on the find.

Created a little box for the WTP.

Outstanding as usual for you! Great stuff and that box is perfect for your WTP.

Vlim,
The box looks like it was made for the WTP. So I am guessing you found a vintage box and fitted the inside to accommodate the WTP? I have done this too for a few of my examples. I have also seen it done by other collectors. It makes for a very attractive presentation.
Since the box does not have room for the holster, if you send it to me I will be happy to store it for you. (intended as humor)
Regards,

What a home run. !!! Great presentation.

Yes, it was a vintage box with the right amount of patina.
I used some old velvet to create the lining. The goal was to give it some impression of age, that corresponded with the pistol and manual.

Well done Vlim!
