It does look like a P-38 holster to me.

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

Can't make out what the officer is carrying. Could be the aluminum bottom of the Luger magazine....

tough call on whether a PP or P38. Some of the holsters looked similar from a distance. Difference is in the length of the holster below the mag pouch. I looked at my P38 holster and a PP holster and I can't decide....

Yup. Your right. PP it is. Also looking at the proportion of his hand, the gun is small.

Yes, you're right Phil. A B-17 bomber. (Probably a G variant, based on the bulgy front nose)

Cheers!
