Reichsrevolver Unit Mark
 
8 Attachment(s)
I picked up an AWM reichsrevolver holster with the mark:
4 Fd A.R. for 4th Feld-Artillerie- Regiment.

I know AWM luger holsters typically went to Bavarian units. Is this also true for reichsrevolver holsters?

I think it belonged to two possible regiments:

(1) 4th (Magdeburg) Field Artillery "Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria" of the IV Army Corps garrisoned at Magdeburg.

(2) 4th Royal Bavarian Field Artillery "King" of the 1st Royal Bavarian Corps garrisoned at Augsburg.

What do the experts think?

it is definitly 4. Bavarian Field Artillery Regiment

Thank you Klaus.....what clue indicates it is 4th Bavarian and not 4th Magdeburg?

Can you read the writing on the flap? Looks like FG something and last letter is N and is smaller.

A really nice AWM early holster. Thanks for letting us see it.
