Unit Mark G.K. on 1914 Erfurt...

David, your photos are actually quite good.

I agree that the letters and numerals in this marking are both 3.1 mm as in G.K.128. Apparently, the GK was not a stickler for uniformity.

The mags are both from the Schutzpolizei of Hannover. The S.Hn. marking predates the S.H. but it is neat that they are matching #1 and #2 mags (HWIS Chapter 9).

The holster appears to be a shoulder holster. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge of holsters will comment.

A very interesting and eclectic rig!
