The C. Pose is also marked Berlin.

Tac,..

Actually they did use "T" for Train. Train Sanitats unit mark Lugers are marked T.S.

Bill,

Hard to tell, but possibly a Train or Telegraph unit.

Very nice holster collection.

If I remember correctly, train is not train as we "american english" speaking, when we think of train. That would be like bahnhoff (train station, I was not sure enough to write just bahn for train).

Train in this use is like a transportation unit, or in older parlance, a "caravan"; from what I understand.

In my German-Dutch dictionary 'train' is being translated as an army train.

Tac I referred to T for train from Jeff Nolls " The Imperial German Regimental Marking." A T is also used for telegraph but a different style T. Also in Gortz and Bryans "German Small Arms Marking" under glossary of German terms Train =Supply units. We have even advanced to indoor plumbing in Montana. Thanks for responding. Bill

Tac,

T.S. means the same where I come from too.
