Pistol holster with strange stamp

This is suposed to be WW2 original pistol holster, but the stamps look kind of strange to me. The two big letters are non-cyrillic and the stampf with the year has a unusual writing.
Is it an original wartime piece?

Re: Pistol holster with strange stamp

Do you know what weapon it was intended for?
That may help out on pinning it down.

I must say it looks a hell of a lot like the RCMP and British worn holsters of the time.

Re: Pistol holster with strange stamp

It is for the TT33 and is original. Stamp is A-OK IMO also.

Perhaps the two Roman letters are someone's initials - a German's who took it as a trophy?

It could also have been worn in the GDR after the war. The new army and police in East Germany were firstly equipped with soviet weapons such as PPSh.

Entirely possible. Excellent hypothesis...
