Magyar tankparancsnok !

Looks like his holster might be for a P08-Luger with the 3.88" long barrel (post 1920 issue?). Any German pistol collectors here??

Wrong shape and size for a P08 - more like a PPK or HSc holster, but very possibly a Hungarian weapon.

Thanks, Airframes-- I am not familiar with the Maygars-have heard the term. Were they Hungarian or Yugoslavic troops tied in with the Wehrmacht??

Magyar - Hungarian.

Good info there Artesh. The FEG 37 pistol fits - the holster looks to be the right shape and size for it.
