Unusual Holster Marking

[Ron Smith]

Your holster could very well be a new 20s production. My statement was to clear up the thought that these were produced or converted at a later date.

I don't believe the "arrow" is a British Broad Arrow. They were usually very plain and distict.

A personal identification mark could very well have been applied with a tool. I'm just saying that it's not a commonly found marking of any sort that I have seen on a holster. And not any known unit or military marking that I know of.

Thank you gentlemen for your input. I guess I will always be intrigued by the arrow mark. I would certainly like to know if anyone else has one the same. Hopefully this post will come to the attention of someone on the forum who may have a holster with this mark or have seen one.

Any suggestions as to other venues that I might interface with besides the forum. I know there is a fantastic amount of knowledge available through the forum membership, but I also recognize that there is always something new discover in this field and that there may be some other sources I should check with.

"lugerholsterrepair" identified 1934 as a year that jag pouches were found and stated the following "The 1934 with this on it has a very large stud on the tool pouch. This was to accomodate the double leather of the tool pouch and the cleaning rod strap." Not having ever seen one of the holsters, I ask if the stud on mine seems any larger than normal? I suspect not but am not sure.
