help with acceptance stamp

Lugerdoc · 09-14-2009, 09:56 AM

Klaus, You'll note that the shape the eagle and the "9" is quite different between these two markings. I've never seen a LW accepted holster with other than an E/2 marking. I'd be surprised if that one is "real" unless the depots were also reworking holsters, which I doubt. TH

Tom, I also never have seen before a stamp like this one on a holster.
There was some grease on the stamp. I took some new closeup photos of the stamp and some of the commercial holster.
The holster was not so expensive and I´m not sure if other people mentioned the stamp before. A bought it as a commercial and holsters like this are hard to find in Germany. I think it was the forth I saw here in Germany during the last 25 years.
Best regards Klaus

I had figured luftwaffe, but not when or where. I really don't know enough about this pistol, or what it is worth. It has ivory instead of the original grips, with NSFK insignia inlayed. The gun is very clean, no pitting at all. I am sure it has been reblued, but professionally. This is my first p08 after collecting PPKs and sniper rifles for a while. I just want to know what I have.
