Astra 600 first contract unknown holster mark

justsomeguy · 10-22-2025, 02:40 AM

Hello,
I picked up this pistol a while back and have had no luck identifying the ink mark on the inside flap of the holster it came with.
The holster looks old but it bares the commercial mark of Akah so I assume it was bought post war. However inside the flap the ink mark which looks like an H with a dot on top, dot on the bottom and one to the left looks more like a department or unit marking.

I'm hoping someone could shed some light on what it actually is.

Thanks,
T

A number of military issued pistols were in Akah holsters. I have owned a couple of these pistols. Very well made and fairly accurate. Bill

Hi Bill,
Can you look at the picture of the stamp I attached to the thread and tell me if you recognize it?

Thanks
