I have a BYF P-38 my grandfather acquired in Market Garden. It’s beautiful, I have it cleaned and oiled, and only fired it once, and I will never fire it again, it too nice. My grandfather shot it all the time and kept it loaded in his nightstand. The funny, or cool, thing is it’s in a P-08 holster, complete with take down tool. Two mags too.
Femaru!!! Love those guns! That Nambu is pretty slick too...especially with that holster. By mid-war, they were rubberizing the straps & holster to keep them from rotting in the jungles & islands in the Pacific. Over time, that stuff just gets sooooooo brittle!
I love the shoulder straps for the Japanese holsters. Usually if I come across any by themselves I’ll buy them for future use or for trading material. 😂
Amendment II A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. It is why we can still collect these pieces of history.
I've got a holster, supposedly WWI, that does have that stitching on the back that goes from side to side. It is marked as 1918 and has Handswerkskammer Wurzburg stamped inside the cover. The belt straps are detached at the bottoms and need repair. The strap that holds the cover down only has one hole in it. What's your take on that?
P 38 # 9285 b - it is not uncommon to see only two proofs on this pistol, see Krutzek page 102. “Starting around 4785b more and more guns are missing the final acceptance mark on the slide.”
All your videos are rated 10/10. Thanks for sharing with us!
Tom you have the best job... Great history

The Walther model 9 is the best! Love your videos! Wish I could own that tiny pistol! One day maybe.
I love rig-atoni days. Bon appétit! 🙏🏼

F.M.G.Z. Could be Fortress Machine Gun weapon #80 but not sure what the Z represents. Most likely the designation for the fortress (?).
Lol, you were backwards on the walther 9 front and back straps🤓
I need a CZ 38 holster really bad lol!
How were the rigs produced?
How often were the un-numbered commercial wooden bottom magazines used during ww1 for Lugers?

Probably a cut down artillery Luger holster. Quite commonly done.
@@jcmaxie4758 Well then, they did a real good job of making it look like a shorter barrel holster.
My favorite channel! Thanks again Tom.
