Sixgun1 (Meldon):
Based upon “German Small Arms Markings” by Görtz and Bryans, pp. 92-93, your “S.W.II.245 marking translates to weapon no. 245, command II in the Wiesbaden Municipal Police District.
Don’t know what the “4248” number equates to but perhaps one of our other collectors who may have an opinion??
In terms of your holster itself, Alanint may be correct….full pictures of the front and back of the holster would confirm if it was originally an artillery holster then modified to its present configuration.
