Well...Now I've done it...

AND, as an added bonus! Some of you folks showed a bit of interest in the Polizei holster it came with, and I promised more pics accordingly. Never let it be said I am anything but a man of my word (even when it sometimes gets me in trouble). Here are a few pictures. I haven't been able to make out the date, though you can see a 2 in the decade slot, and what looks like either a 3, a 5, a 6, or an 8 or 9 (ha! how's that for covering all the bases!) in the ones column. All that I can see is a rounded bottom, hence the great possibility of digits. The many rayed proof below that is slightly visible in certain light, and it looks like a cross strap on the front of the flap may be missing. There is a persons name written inside, but it is all but invisible to the naked eye, and I only found it after looking at the photos I took. William L. (somebody). See...?

Some cracking is apparent, but I'd say it's not bad, but I'm no expert.

Stitching looks very nice all over. Here you can see my dating dilema...There is a date there...somewhere...

Missing cross-strap?

Can't tell if this is William the G.I. or William the gendarme. Though I'd put my money on the former. I doubt a disciplined Deutsches Polizeimann would scrawl his name on a piece of issue so haphazardly. Only Americans are so reckless, bold, and self centered. Yee Haw!
