1941 Holster info please

Neil Young · 10-29-2009, 10:03 AM

I would appreciate any information that you have on the pictured holster. The markings are "1941 gut", with an eagle over swastika in between. The code is "WaA 869". The holster is also marked with "P.08".

Hi,

Looks good to me.
'gut' is the Ordnance Code for Walter Schürmann & Co., Lederwarenfrabrik in Bielefeld, Germany. (it's also German for 'good', but that is just coincidental).

What does the "WaA 869" signify?
