Description
12/31/24 – This is a good example of a 1944-dated soft shell holster for a P.38 pistol. The back is “dkk” maker marked and dated 1944, both of these stamps are light, but still visible. The leather is still pliable and soft. There are two tears in the leather above the magazine holder, one that goes through the flap, and the other throughto the inside of the holster. As well as one additional small tear through to the back near the P38 marking.All of these tears were most likely caused from the rubbing of the leather against the base plate of a magazine. The leather closure strap also has been repaired. Overall the surface of the leather is in good condition, but does have gauges, abrasion, wrinkling and cracks throughout. The stitching on the main body of the holster is still strong and intact. However, there are missing stitches on the left belt loop as well as on the bottom right corner of the magazine pouch.
