Holster markings?

PRD1 · 02-16-2014, 04:28 PM

Picked-up a very nice 1915-dated holster at a local auction (with a very nice WW2 P08 holster, too).
The older one is marked:
'PATENT - CARTONAGEN - FABRIK
-------M BERLIN 0. 27.

S.A. 7. F. 61. 1915

X '

the above under the flap on the front of the holster.
And on the back of the holster, the number '106'.

I understand the manufacturer's name as the Patent (cardboard) Packaging Manufactory, can't make out the letters ahead of the 'M', and wonder about the unit identity, etc.
Any input appreciated.
