"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

It does look like a P-38 holster to me.
A few more
Michael it could be the Officer next to him looks to have a luger in a shoulder holster. Gary
the holster could also be a PP holster
Very nice set of photos! They all appear to have belonged to the 45th Infantry Division.
I took the time to research the guy farthest to the left in the photo of the four GI's standing with their duffle bags. Here is Lamar A. Slabaugh's enlistment record: NARA - AAD - Page not found
And here is his grave: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg...GRid=36405896&
I have also located his children and grandchildren and can give them a call for you if you'd like. I figure the family might like to see a pic of granddad from back in the war.
OB that would be very cool. Their is only 2 photos with the 45th insignia all other photos have a tank insignia .
OB here are all the photos with him in it
