1918 DWM Artillery

George Anderson · 12-22-2008, 10:08 AM

While not common, artillery holsters marked "GERMANY" do show up from time to time. My experiance has been that many are also marked with depot marks often a crown over roman numerals I, II or III indicating Bavarian origin from 1918. These holsters came from military supply depots after 1918 and were exported to the US commercial market. Photos of the holster would be appreciated.
