strange holster on the photograph - TK pistol?

But I did a search on Eb?y of pistol holsters and the the first photo shows a ****** holster which doesn't have the rounded flap. It rounded only on the trigger side but not on the grip side.

However, the second photo shows a "new Reproduction: of a WW II Soft Leather Belt Holster for a P38 Pistol(Walther or Mauser). It looks to be as close to what is in the photo. But it seems to be for a longer barrel pistol than what shows in the photo.

Last one is of a 7.65MM PISTOL HOLSTER "Genschow & Co. Berlin 1940".

Well, he's just wide, but not very tall - he seems to be a little smaller than the officer standing next to him. So I would agree for the sawed-off, but only put horizontally:)
He's far smaller than the general at the foreground

It's a strange thing - most of the polish generals were at best of reasonable size (not bigger than 180/95/100), while most of the soviet generals seem to have been 185/110/120 (judging from uniforms)... Maybe this guy was a Red Army general before delegation to the Polish Army?;)

Well, TT holsters looked also very similar, but were longer as well (about 20cm). PPK was smaller (15), but now, as I think of it, if he wasn't a partisan before (and probably not - only AL generals who joined the Army before the end of the war were I think Żymierski and Spychalski , and none of them fits here) he would probably not have any captured gun...
