1918 Holster ID Help...

Pete,
This is just a guess, but I think the stamping is Rud. Guilleaume - Mulheimern. This would make it Rudolph Guilleaume possibly associated with the city of Mulheim on the Ruhr river. Guilleaume looks a lot like what I remember the French spelling of Wilhelm to be. I have a book written in French (unfortunately in storage at the present time, so I can't look it up) on pickelhauben, and I believe when they write about the Kaiser Wilhelm collection at Dorn, Holland, they refer to "Kaiser Guilleaume"
