Very Scarce Early World War II "1941" Dated German P.08 Luger Pistol and Holster Storage Box

One of two P.08 Luger hardwood storage box patterns known to be manufactured during the Third Reich era, with such boxes intended to stow away a P.08 Luger pistol and its holster. It is unknown which specific branch of service these storage boxes were originally intended for, with some collectors speculating intension for the merchant marine, while Luftwaffe marked examples have also been noted as outlined in pages 1161-1163 of "Pistole Parabellum" by Joachim Gortz and Geoffery L. Sturgess. Constructed from planked hardwood with dovetailed corners, screwed in steel edge guards, and two steel hinges at the rear. Once closed, the lid is secured with a swinging hook and slotted pin, with a smaller hole on the tip of the hook allowing for a secured seal with wire or chord. With "E.J./1941" manufacturer marking and "eagle/swastika/WaA15" proof stamped into the left side panel. The lid is marked "P.08/m.Tasche" which translates to "P.08/with Holster" in black paint. A seldom encountered P.08 accessory that would prove to be a highlight addition to any advanced German Luger collection!

ConditionFine, with an oxidized oil staining and darkened surfaces on the wood, light spotting/pitting on the steel hardware along with remnants of grey and black paint, light chipping of the lid label paint, along with light scuffs and handling marks.
