1918 dated Holsters , Questions...

Hello to all,

It is a long time since I last posted on the LF....been quite busy, sick & did a bit of shopping. I acquired these 2 1918 Holsters. The brown one shows what I think is a Bavarian III Corps faint marking on the back. It looks like a Crown with Roman number 3 ( III ) under. I'm not sure and would appreciate help on ID...

Here are the Maker markings on this one.

The second 1918 Holster is a real nice one but I'm puzzled

by this L.Z.A. Berlin marking right on top on the pull strap. I really need help on this one as it' the first time I'm seeing this marking...

Now is the Makers mark on the inside of the flap ( like the previous holster )

Also of interest is when they dyed this holster. The pull strap was only dyed on the outside end...

Many thanks to all...

MARK
