Unit Identification

Conny · 11-04-2010, 09:43 PM

Found a holster and would like someone to tell me (if possible) what unit this is. He advertises this holster as being SS but for some reason, I have my doubts.

..and your doubts are correct!

Thank you Klaus. Can you tell me what unit this is? Is this unit fake?

Hey Jerry,
I thought the numbers indicated a unit (battalion, company, etc.) I guess I'm wrong.

This is a post war whatsit? holster that looks like someone used an ink covered SS repro cap badge to stamp the eagle into it. The "Waffen SS" is clearly hand printed.

This is amateurish junk, plain and simple.

Thank you all.

Hi Conny,

What pistol is the holster supposed to be for? May we see photos of the holster, front and back?

Conny · 11-08-2010, 12:44 PM

Francis,
The holster is for the Husq. M40 Lahti 9mm. That's what rang bells in my head concerning authenticity.

It's on GB and it only has this one photo.
