HSc Kriegsmarine Holster

(1/3) > >>

HSc:
I have been addicted to the HSc for about five years now and have read everything I can find. Like they say " There is no such thing as a free education". I have made some good buys and a few costly mistakes. Sound familiar? I recently purchased my first HSc 3rd variation Kriegsmarine with this holster. My problem is I can't find one like it anywhere and was hoping someone here would enlighten me as to what I have. It is unmarked except for the stamp under the flap. And that looks to me like a double stamp? Also the flap that covers the butt I have not seen before. The indents in the leather on the inside show it has had an HSc in the holster for some time and the pistol fits perfectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a correct (late war) KM holster to me.  I have been trying to buy one for several months like yours.  They are not that easy to locate.  Congratulations.  Is there a small indent on the inside of the bottom of the holster?

HSc:
Thanks for the information Jim. I do see a small indent just in front of where the front sight rests. Maybe 3/4 of an inch long. Looks like the leather was removed slightly so that when it was folded and stitched it would not have as much resistance at that point and would help to keep the outside leather from cracking. Another thing. I have never seen the leather flap that protects the butt on a KM HSc holster before. I didn't know about early and late war holsters. What differences are there? I have a lot to learn.

Warbird:
I am also curious about the difference in a Late War version of this KM Holster versus other time periods.  It looks like a standard Wartime KM Holster to me.

HSc:
Thanks for your reply Warbird. I value your opinion. I was worried that the holster may have not been authentic. I have read the book you co-authored cover to cover many times. It is always on my desk as my go to reference. Great job.
