The snap button on this is like a civilian German canteen I have from the 1930's. I wonder if it is a commercial German holster?
Very small holster for something in the .25 cal ACP/6.35mm class like the FN Baby Browning etc-not usually a military pistol in German use other than a hidden 'hold out' ex civilian gun on active service-press stud closure is not typical of German military holsters either.
My imagination or is something stamped under the belt loop.........?

That snap does seem like a canteen piece. I would assume a military model would have been stamped accordingly. Looks about the size of a PPK, HSC or 38H. Maybe a PP. Any markings under the flap in ink?
I'm thinking possibly a mauser model 1910.. .25acp
I would absolute LOVE for someone to create a ww2 holster sticky. These holster issues come up very often.
Thanks for your thoughts guys!
@bartonharley: you are right, the snap button appears on many canteens from that era.
@walkwolf & JerryB52: the holster is void of any stamps or markings. So that means it's not a military holster?
@UKCousin: it certainly resembles that holster in design except for the snap button.
What would be a reasonable price for an item like this? As the leather is quite dry, would it harm [the authenticity] to treat it?
I've sold some random European holsters from the WW2 era for maybe $75. Perhaps more if you could identify the pistol. Try Jan Still Luger Forum and post to the holsters section. They can more than likely ID it for you.
