P08 Holster Markings

[Robert Wiggins]

Thanks "bcc"


Please see graphic image of holster with marking circled in yellow!


1. What size is tha marking?


It's 1/4 inch long (left to right)


2. Where on the Holster is it located?


Top left of holster (trigger guard side) Not on flap!


3. Is it pressed (stamped),inked, or hand scratched into the leather?


It appears to be pressed or stamped. Due to age it's hard to tell since edges are rounded I wouldn't rule out pressing but uniformity suggests that a stamp was used.


4. What is style, color, and year of the holster?


You can determin style from picture. colour is reddish brown inside, dark brown outside due to ageing.


5. which direction on the holster is the tip of the sword facing? ( I'm trying to estanlish the orientation)


As you can see from photo, pommel of sword is on left side. I'm not sure we are correct in assuming it is a sword, but rather that it is "Sword like".


Again many thanks
