Looks like a hardshell Luger holster but it is not. Sadly someone cut some of the leather away under the flap. Any and all help needed please. daniel tarr817j

Czech Model 38

That is the German Holster for the captured Czech Model 38. The German designation was P 39 t.

The mag pouch has an extra piece of leather because the 38 mag is smaller. The holster is correct and is cut like that to fit the Czech pistol...Nice holster.

Yep, German P.39(t) or Cz38 holster !

Yep, it is based on a P-38 hardshell holster, not on the P-08 Luger one.

Thanks for all the help guys! All this time I thought the value had been degraded by the cut leather. d_t

This is just so much BS. The holster was made to fit the Czech pistol with NO cut leather.

Jerry,

No one has said they cut a P-08 or a P-38 holster to fit a Czech pistol. We have said it is based on a P-38 holster and it is cut that way so the Czech pistol fits well.

Hey Jerry,

I do see your point now...It does have a piece cut off. I was refering to a wider opening than the standard P-38 holster...but this one has certainly been chopped off.

What I implied here was it was cut/manufactured like that originally....not later.

I see know what you guys mean with the cut. I didn't noticed it at first. But indeed. Cut maybe for better access to the gun.

What I implied here was it was cut/manufactured like that originally....not later.

And that is incorrect. The P-39 holster was made fully enclosed like the P-38 or the Luger and employed a lifting strap to bring the pistol high enough to grasp the front grip strap and remove it.

The cut shown here is a BUBBA cowboy cut and essentially ruins this P-39 holster. It was certainly NOT made this way originally.

We have said it is based on a P-38 holster and it is cut that way so the Czech pistol fits well.
This is incorrect as well. The P-39 holster looks very much like a P-38 but with the magazine pouch spacer added, a slightly different contour and P-39 markings. These P-39 holsters were made specifically for the Czech pistol. The Czech P-39 fits very well..no need to cut anything.

This cutaway portion does certainly affect/decrease the value of this otherwise nice holster. If there is any silver lining it is that even P-39 holsters in good original shape bring much less money that a comparable P-38. I suspect it's because the P-39 pistol is less desirable/collectable.
