J.R.448.9.K signifies Infantry Regiment 448, 9 Kompagnie which was part of the 233 and 107 ID during WWI.

The BA XVII signifies the 17 th Army Corps, which two of the regiments in the 233ID are from. What this indicates is that, in a round about way, the holster is related to the Luger.

The 233 ID battled in Flanders, Lorraine, Kemmel and the Somme during WWI.
