WWII Holster maker mark verification
 
Does anyone know if maker mark "K.W.K.", with WaA107 is a valid known maufacturer/waffenampt?

KWK is a controversial mark. Costanzo reports it is a Heidelberger Druckmaschen mark, but this is clearly an error as they made heavy metal presses and were well known world wide for their products.

Perhaps someone else has some documentation explaining that mark.

Tom,
John Walter on page 148 talks about kwk and mentions the Costanzo "mistake".
He also talks about the kwk as an abbreviation used fot "Kampfwagen-kanone (tank gun)during the Thired Reich, but has no significance for the P08.
Just ten cents worth.
