World War II German leather pistol holster constructed of brown leather with an integral front-mounted spare magazine pouch and rear belt loops. The interior flap bears boxed blue-ink markings reading “bnz 1944” above “P35,” consistent with Steyr-Daimler-Puch (Austria) wartime manufacture and the German designation for the Pistole 35. The holster exhibits clear period service wear, with softened leather and interior abrasion consistent with prolonged use. Construction features include machine stitching, riveted stress points, and simplified late-war finish characteristic of 1944 production. Magazine marked "188"

Good. The leather remains structurally sound with expected wartime wear, surface scuffing, and darkening from use. Ink markings remain legible though partially faded. Stitching is intact, with no major losses or structural damage observed.
