Unusual Holster Marking

klaus 3338 · 06-19-2009, 04:06 PM

According to my observations the cleaning rod holder was introduced a few years after the Great War.
Reason was that all P08 got the cleaning rod during the Weimar time (Reichswehr). In the old Army there was only 1 rod for 6 Lugers.
The earliest new holsters I saw with the holder was made in 1926. 1922 made holsters donÂ´t have the cleaning rod holder. I have many holsters of the Imperial Army and also Imperial Navy with (Weimar time) added cleaning rod holder.
The last holsters got the holder in 1934 because the RG34 (ReinigungsgerÃ¤t (19)34 was introduced.
