luger holsters

[Joe]

The Xed out letters and numbers are the police unit marks from the Schutzpoliizei [municipal] for the city of Arnsberg, district #I and the 889 is the weapon's inventory number. Those marks would have also been on the grip strap of the Luger. They were cancelled out when the holster was reissued to another Luger with a 5 diget serial [commercial ?] or inventory number.
