IMO looks period to me

Belgian FN 35 holster. Quite unissued..

Considering that is not a rare holster..it might be also good..
Personally I don't like unissued items.
Inkstamps don't mean originality. Anyway WaA and 3letters code are often seen in original german items...

Does it smells of fresh leather or not? this is a first step to judge this holster..

[Komandir RKKA]

No leather smell at all.
Smells as dampness or a kind of mold.

Looks ok but not for P.38. It's for a HP or Astra imo.

[argan]

Does it have some real sign of a weapon inside?

[leondes]

It looks like it has a fat (double stack mag) spare mag pouch. If that is correct, it would be for a FN HP and appears original to me.

No, never used.

Exactly.
I have standard P-38 holster, but this one's spare mag pouch is twice wider.

Leon is right, a HP holster

This holster has the same "look" to it as the large number of unissued P.38 break-away holsters that came out of Ukraine back in the 1990's. Luftwaffe "dropping" style holsters for the P.37(u) pistols were included in the Ukraine surplus, and I think I recall hearing that break-away P.35 holsters were also in the grouping.
