Postwar 18 round Prestoff Flare Pouch

Beware of fake wartime markings - Some of these Postwar holsters show MUCH USE, and can easily fool a novice collector.

Yes, they are regularly listed on Ebay as WWII German, when clearly they are not.

This is listed on a website as "German signal pistol holster". Which was this for, the P2A, or LP2? Looks to be pretty current issue and would attach to the military web belt. No pictures of the back, but I suspect it uses the proprietary locking/attachment system common to current issue German web gear.
