Hi John,
It appears that your Luger is indeed 1 of about 250 issued to the Naval troops garrisoned at Tsingtao, Yours being the eighth brought to public attention!
I would guess that the O.M.D. marking would mean Ostasiatisches Marinedetachement, I have no clue about the 2.6., it seems that an O.M.D. marked peice should be marked 4.6 (4th company Waffe #6) because Still states: "The Ostasiatisches Marinedetachement (O.M.D.) formed a portion of the fourth Seebataillon company" I don't understand why yours is marked to the second company... Where is one of our Navy experts?
Also,
What is the serial number of your Luger? Plus your holster sounds correct to me, could you post photos of it too?
Regards,Brandon
P.S. Ed, I typed the first reply, it took a while
