Hi Mauro,

It stands for 'Volkseigener Betrieb nr. 6' (or 'People's own company nr. 6).
It would be interesting to find out which company VEB6 was before it was taken over by the state.

I got the other holster from the same seller. The P38 pattern stamped 'MfS' which stands for Ministerium fur Staatssicherheit, better known as the StaSi.
