Greg,
* No cleaning rod would have been issued w/ your Army G-date Luger or your 1936 PT-08 holster.
* The ReiningungsgerÃ?Â¤t 34 (tobacco tin) cleaning kit was officially introduced by a notice in the Allgemeine Heeresmitteilungen of Sept.,4, 1934 (Pg.4, Item 16). This formal announcement stated that the cleaning kit was: "...to be used for rifles, carbines, pistols, machine guns, and is to be used in Armouries...Each soldier, having been issued a weapon, should be issued a cleaning device 34."
* The quote is per Mr. Richard D. Law, Backbone of the Wehrmacht, The German K98k rifle, 1934-1945, Pg. 327.
* Trust this helps.
Respectfully,
Bob
