Crown stamp on 1918 Holster
 

I have holster made by Kern Klager & Cle, dated 1918 over Neu-Ulm.

Just below the LH belt strap it has a crown over an I. stamp. Can anyone tell me what it might represent.

Hi Jan.....Kern, Klager & Cie holsters were manufactured in the city of Neu-Ulm the crown is the mark of Weimiar military police and the "L" is the area of authority of Landespolizei.....hope this helps.........Leo

Crown stamp (Wrong Answer) on 1918 Holster
 

Sorry Guys, but I must respectuflly disagre. th A crown over a Roman I is a property mark for the first Bavarian corps. You will find Crown over I-IV but the IV is very scarce; see Knolls book.

Hope this helps,

Tom
