Very good E.G. Leuner GmbH Bautzen Germany, four digit 1941 dated and waffen accepted.
Incredible white stitching.
Excellent tool and mag pouch.
P.08 clearly stamped.
The belt loops, closure strap, lift strap, and tool pouch are all made of calf skin.
The body and the mag pouch are made of Pigskin.
there is a small slit in the closure strap near the tip, does not compromise the integrity of the strap
in 1941 and 1942, as a Germans prepared to invade Russia, there was a leather shortage. The Germans considered the pigskin to be an Ersatz material. Ersatz was considered not as durable, and would not last as long as calf skin. As a collector, I am always drawn towards the look and intrigue of the pigskin P.08 Holster . The Ersatz P.08 Holster made of pigskin is a must for the byf collector.
