Is this holster for P38 and a war time production or is it postwar?

Hi Jaegermeister,
I believe this holster is German WW2 for the KV1914 pistol made in Norway.
It is basically a Colt 1911 in 45 cal (or 11.25 mm) that was made in Norway from WW1 to about 1946. From 1941 to 1945 under German control. It was also the only 45 cal pistol that was produced and used by the Germans during WW2.
Web holsters for this pistol is not often seen.
With regards,

I only know that the Kongsberg Colt was used by Germanische Norwegen and only inland, never been out of the country. Don't think they had ammo for that on the eastern front.
However I tried with my pistol and here you can see.

Hi,
If you have access to the book Kongsberg-Colten by Karl Egil Hanevik you will see the exact same holster on page 186.
This pistol was given the name "Pistole 657 (n) and was delivered to the German army and the German navy. And probebly the hird, GSSN and so on. If it was used outside Norway I do not know.

Nice holsters guys!! Wish I had one for my Norwegian Colt!! I do have the factory letter, which is kinda neat!!
rThe probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

I would think that it’s quite rare.
Have never seen a similar holster for sale. Have seen several other German made/used web holsters for sale at QXL.no but they did not have the pocket for the magazine and was added more leather reinforcement.
It would fit like a glove to my KV made in1942
Cheers,
