Alf, it´s 2. D.R.26 wich means 2. Württembergisches Dragoner (Dragoon) Regiment Nr. 26. Foundationday of this regiment was the 6.12.1805; station was Stuttgart.
It would be nice to see complite holster, front and backside. Is the holster dated? Eckart started dating in 1911. If it´s undated it was made in 1910 (or 1909).
The inkstamp is about B.A. XIII. and a date (1910?).
You can use Waschbenzin (can not translate it because I don´t find something in my dictionary) and clean the leather under the flap. There will be no problems with the ink.
Regards Klaus
