Thanks for the photo of your gun with the Danzig Police stamp, its nice to know there are others out there.
I have a question about the stamp. On June,28 1919, when Germany sign the treaty, they agreed to the "corridor" that gave Poland access to the port of Danzig and allowed them to have the 100,000 man army, was this when these guns were given to the police?

Also were there other parts of Germany where the police had guns with a starburst but a different letter [.Frankfurt would have a F under the starburst]?

I also have a holster that has " C LESCHEN & CO with 1918 stamped under it and COLN-NIPPES under the date. On the back is L Z with a Eagle under it and J. COLN under the eagle.

Would this be the holster issued with the gun when they gave them to the police?
