Hi Everybody,
I happened to see the following auction on eBay for a nice looking 1939 dated holster.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=36049

The waffenamt is partially visible and it appears the makers code designation is EKS.
I thought the holster manufacturers started using the 3 letter codes in mid 1940.
I couldn't even find the EKS code in Jan Still's Third Reich Lugers.
As I looked at it closer it almost looks like a fourth letter (a partial P at the end?)
I was considering putting a bid on it as I need a holster for my code 42 1939 P.08 but am somewhat hesitant.
Any opinons would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Mike
