help with "Lk" markings, 1937 original Waa 145 P08 holster
Hello,
could someone please help me identify the meaning of the letters "Lk" that are stamped on an original WW2 P08 1937 Waa 145 holster ? Picture is attached. Thank you very much for your help.http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-...776590003a.jpg |
Yeahhh...I am so happy...I have the toughest question on this message board..nobody is able to answer it...
Just joking...anyway thank all for your help. |
I have been looking through all my references that list odd markings and I can't find this one. Sorry.

Hello Iweinlan,
..:)...my humble opinion: I believe this marking is not a maker's or an official stamp. The lines are too thin, not deep enough. It would be a private marking made by a soldier. is there any maker marking on your holster ? |
Hello Laoshi75,
No there is no maker markings beside this "Lk". The "Lk" seems to be too perfect (made by a tool) to be a soldier marking....But I have no doubt that this holster is original WWII era. |
Iweinlan,
I have no doubt your holster is original ! but like Ron, I have never seen this kind of marking. |
here is another image showing the depth of the marking

the lines appear better on this photo, and I think this marking might be the ordnance code of the holster manufacturer. But I cannot identify it in my archives, sorry.

...the "LK" might be a "LYO" (Kromolowski & Sohne") ?
|
could be ....but then it would probably be associated with a WaA 77 (the LYO code)? and did they already had the LYO abbreviation in 1937 ?
The info I have for WaA 145 is: -Karl Barth, Milit�¤reffektenfabrik, Waldbr�¶l, Nordrhein-Westfalen : (1939) -Deutsche Lederwerkst�¤tten GmbH, Margarethenstr. 3, Pirmasens, Rheinland-Pfalz (jln) : (P 08 holster : 1942-43) -Lock und Hartenberger Metallwarenfabrik, Idar-Oberstein, Rheinland-Pfalz (gqm) : (MP 40 mag. : 1942) |
I agree that the "LK" is in the correct position to be a maker code. Anyone have any info on the logo of Ludwig Krumm of Offenbock? TH
