Hi Walker,
your are really right, the headline in the ebaylisting says "Afrikakorbs" but this is wrong spelling.
"Graben" means "trench" and "stellung" can be translated as "defence post".
So the entire headline has the meaning "trench defence post of the Africacorps pistol P38" which is obviously partly wrong as discussed already.
Please excuse my poor wording but I did not serve neither in the German nor in any other Army.
regards
Peter
