I saw this on ebay:

thought it might be of interest to discuss. Is this a production piece, or modified in some way?

Regards,

Kelly,

It is a production police holster that has been modified. The bucket has been cut down , or "Cowboy'd" for easier access to the pistol.

Interesting holster. Obviously, this comes out of the props room of the DEFA:

An interesting peace of DDR history.

Martin,

It's a movie prop from the DDR? That's is interesting.

Thanks...
Ron

Unless my eyes fool me there is no sign of a tool pouch present at any point in time. The size of the bucket top reminds me of holsters original to the Walther #6 modified for P08's in police service. Any help out there?
