1944 Military PP, non-import mark with matching numbers. WaA359 Waffenamt on slide and frame as well as two proofs by the ejection port and barrel, with two era correct mags and what I believe to be appropriate grips. I think the holster is repro but I cannot find any identifying marks. There are a few places where something is blacked out but not sure what is under there.
Nice, the WaA359 army-accepted PP's are harder to find and especially in nice shape... only sour note would be the lanyard loop scabbed onto it. Having said that, there seem to be several with the loop right around that S/N:

Not a holster guy but my guess is it's possibly an early post-war holster, or even a proper WW2 late-war. I don't think it's a repro, the stitching is too neat... look carefully for marks embossed into the leather.
