New holster AWM

The 7JR refers to the unit...the 7th Infantry Regiment. The MGK refers to the Machine Gun Kompany (Company) of the regiment. The LB is unknown to me, unless it is a 1B, which could refer to the 1st battalion of the regiment. Depends on whether it is a "1B" or a "LB." Hope this helps.

One more thing....as stated in a previous reply, the 3 refers to the workshop at the Artillery Workshop Munich (AWM) which did leather work, in this case the 3d workshop. The 10 refers to "1910," the year of the work. There wre a number of workshops, each numbered, in this case it was number 3. My personal opinion is that the AWM holsters were the nicest of all the Imperial produced holsters. I really like them and have about a dozen in my collection. Others may want to add to or correct what I have written here.
