Nice late war CZ, I think the holster is for a Walther PP.

Nice find.
My Dad brought one just like that back from WW2, a late mfg w/the holster. Used to go FA about every magazine. Fun though till he smashed it to bits w/a sledge.

Your holster was made by Albrecht Kind.
That faint stamping below the D.R.G.M. letters (which basicly means 'Patented') is the Albrecht Kind business logo w/the shortened business name 'AHKA' within it.

AK provided a large number of belts,holsters, slings and other leather goods such as saddles and tack to the German govt .
They were also a large import/export business of near all things outdoor sporting/hunting/firearms and had a large gunsmithing operation.
They are still in business.

I like those.

I have owned a trio of them, from varying stages...

My son spotted one in a pawn shop while I was picking up a gunbroker purchase. It was a prewar model, beautiful polished blue, slanted grip serrations, Czech writing on the slide. It did have the Waffenmark stamps, so it was likely still in the factory when Germany took over.

Found a later, wartime model, very clean and definitely refinished, to a gleaming blue polish (the first one has a patina).
That one has the vertical serrations, and German lettering.

Have a lady friend who liked shooting it so much that she took it, and I bought a very late FN with rough finish, that needed a safety replacement (which I located). This one looks like they totally skipped the "finish" part of manufacturing; it works, and it's darkened steel, but you can see the roughness everywhere, the tool marks are almost like wood grain.

I got the trio at an average price of around $200, which isn't bad for a functional steel pistol, and also not bad at all for something with ties to WW2. Also, it added to my CZ collection, to match up with my 75 and 82.
