TM-08 Leather Carrier Question...

George Anderson · 07-15-2003, 09:40 AM

Pete, I think that the first leather carriers appeared in the 20's. Good marketing. I had one maker marked Berlin and dated 1915. I also have an artillery with stock and three magazines Germany marked dated 1915. The holster is original import with the pistol and has the same mark and date as the carrier did. The holster is almost certainly a 1920's made piece. The only conclusion I can draw is that these items were stamped with war dates to boost sales.
