Erfurt 1917, 6" Barrel, holster pics as requested

Dwight Gruber · 12-11-2005, 02:53 AM

It looks like the actual frame suffix is k . The number font on the barrel numbers, the roman lower-case m (not the gun's suffix!), and the lack of a witness mark are interesting. It would be useful to know if there is a step-ring in the chamber.

This is a very interesting holster as well. Absent a photograph, what is the text of the stamp in the middle of the back?

Can anyone here identify what looks like it is probably a proof mark on the toe of the holster back?
