WWII German Wehrmacht / Waffen-SS Pistol Holster P35 (p) Radom grz – Gebr. Kruger Krueger, Lederwarenfabrik, Breslau 1944 – Inscription Normandy 1944

Description

A really interesting one, these according to the literature where made only in 1944 and 1945.

This particular one was made in 1944 at the Gebr. Kruger Krueger, Lederwarenfabrik, Breslau modern day Wroclaw, Poland.

It has been stamped

grz 194 – Gebr. Kruger Krueger, Lederwarenfabrik, Breslau

Interestingly, the last four was not in the stamp set yet by the looks of it. This would have had to have been made in early 1944 due to the inscription, see below.

Normandy, June 1944

I was unable to find a direct match in the archives due to the fact his name is so common, and the serial number is not for an Enlisted Man.

Summary

These seem to be really hard to find in nice condition with the stamping. A nice genuine Holster made in the then Breslau 1944.
