Mystery Holster

Paladinpainter · 06-22-2010, 10:50 PM

I've posted an album (on pg 10) containing 4 photos of a holster that came with a 1914 Mauser 7.65. The serial number of the pistol is 424XX, so I suspect its an early one. Unfortunately, it looks to have been reblued.

Admin: I think this will point to it: http://forum.lugerforum.com/album.php?albumid=282

What I am curious about is the holster and its markings.

The top marking is a 4 lobed crown over a capital "T." and a strange "2." that looks like it is combined with a "9".
Below the "T.2." are the numbers "233". Below the "233" and hard to see are a "T 2" which is composed of little blocks. To the left of the "T's" upright is a "A."

So: is this military, police, other ?? Any help will be appreciated.

The holster shown in above photos is a unit marked Swedish M08 Husvarna holster (Swedish licensed copy of the FN 1903). TH
