You may be able to find a 1942 dated Luger holster, but there is no such thing as a "black widow" holster, or, for that matter, a "black widow" Luger. "Black widow" was a marketing term invented by a US importer who was trying to dump a bunch of Lugers with black Bakelite grips.

Check the GB auctions, one will eventually show up. The problem with WW2 leather goods is, after 60-70 years, untreated leather tends to break down.

Also buy with caution, a number of repos have been made over the years. Although they were originally sold as repos, fakers have got their hands on them and artificially aged and marked them to pass off as the real mccoy.

Thanks for your question. As Neal has mentioned, you are looking for something that does not exist. However, there are plenty of Luger 1942 holsters our there, but as rufe has told you, look out for fakes. And for the real deal be prepared to pay some good money for one in good shape....although the market is down now and good buys are out there. When I matched my 1942 P08 to a correct 1942 holster years ago, I paid $250 for the holster. You might be able to do that in today's market. Good luck![:)]
