help with acceptance stamp
 

Please help me identify this stamp on the side of my 916 DWM p08. In the middle of the eagle is an "L". Thanks.

TB, Although not noted in Castanzo's "WOL Proofmarks", this is obviously a Luftwaffe acceptance marking from a facility other than the main Kreighoff assembly plant. I've owned a couple of WW1 & undated PO8s with this eagle over 9 pr 0, that I would call reworks by a Luftwaffe depot. TH

Here is another one which I found on a P08 holster.

is the holster available? toadboy65

Klaus, You'll note that the shape the eagle and the "9" is quite different between these two markings. I've never seen a LW accepted holster with other than an E/2 marking. I'd be surprised if that one is "real" unless the depots were also reworking holsters, which I doubt. TH

Tom, I also never have seen before a stamp like this one on a holster.
There was some grease on the stamp. I took some new closeup photos of the stamp and some of the commercial holster.
The holster was not so expensive and I´m not sure if other people mentioned the stamp before. A bought it as a commercial and holsters like this are hard to find in Germany. I think it was the forth I saw here in Germany during the last 25 years.
Best regards Klaus

I had figured luftwaffe, but not when or where. I really don't know enough about this pistol, or what it is worth. It has ivory instead of the original grips, with NSFK insignia inlayed. The gun is very clean, no pitting at all. I am sure it has been reblued, but professionally. This is my first p08 after collecting PPKs and sniper rifles for a while. I just want to know what I have.

Klaus, Interesting holster. Hard to reach any firm conslusion without seeing it in person. When I was last in Germany, I decided to see what I could find at the weekly Sunday flea market in Frankfort along the Main river; the only WaAed items that I saw, were some postwar Police PP hoster with phony WaAs and large PP on the back (P38 style). These were being hawked by an American. It also appears that all of the "lost luggage" in Germany was being sold by the Gypsies @2DM per item of clothing. TH

Acceptence stamp
 

Very nice holster.
Did all Lugers of the Luftwaffe got this "L"-acceptence stamp?
How about the Lugers of the Waffen-SS, did they have a different acceptence stamps, too? Or did they have the regular WaA stamp?
