You found a good one!!! A scarce variation in what appears to be very nice condition, particularly for a naval weapon that saw duty in a colony. Brandon did an excellent job of research for you, and as you and he have discovered, you have an Ostasiatisches Marinendetachement, Kompanie 2, Waffe Nr. 6 (East Asiatic Naval Detachment, 2nd Company, Weapon number 6.) Great work you guys, and thank you for sharing a fine weapon and information. By the way, as you have described it, the holster sounds like an authentic navy issue. And numbered to the gun too, WOW!

P.S. To add to the good news, I suspect your serial number is pretty low since it appears that you have a 1906 First Issue Unaltered!
