I posted the question about the '41 dated holster with the full makers name,interesting to see the full name on a '42 dated.

[pisto]

Mauper speaking about makers names with You I started to
check trough around here...
some other holsters came out with the full makers name:
black:
-Karl B�¶cker Waldbr�¶hl 1939 WaA 27...Navy eagle
-Genschow & Co. Berlin 1936 WaA 112 old style eagle
-Otto Sindel Berlin 1942 ...Police eagle
-Otto Reichel Wngefeld 1940...WaA 360 (380?)
Brown:
-P.Ehrhardt Poessneck 1938 WaA26(28?)
And all of thouse are stamped with the whole 4 digits of the Year!
So I think they are not too rare?

Hi Pisto,
You can add four of my holsters to that list:

1) R Eckhardt, Poessneck, 1939, WaA 23
2) A Fischer, Berlin, 1939, Police Eagle
3) Kurt Vogel, Cottbus, 1938
4) Karl Ackva, Bad Kreuznach, 1939, WaA 286, E/M

Best regards,

Roland, Your 1942 P-08 HOLSTER CERTAINLY IS BEAUTIFUL AND IN VERY GOOD SHAPE FROM WHAT I CAN SEE. Jerry Burney

1. Karl Barth Waldbrohl 1938 WaA146
and just for fun...
2. GYO42 WaA98 Nurnburg -- always thought this one interesting, as the code is used, but the location of manufacture is also present.

[pisto]

Jerry, I�´m happy to own it and it fits real good into my collection.

never saw the location beside a code? Should be courious! The location by the way is (Nurnburg) N�¼rnberg which is part of Bavaria.

Generally all German Military holsters made before 1940 will have the full name of the maker, city and date present. Police holsters continued this practice through out WW2. It is a bit unusual to find such on post 1940 military (WaAed) ones, but appearantly some makers either didn't get the word or DGaS. Tom H.

pisto,

I'll get some pics up as soon as practical. we had a grease fire in the kitchen two weeks ago and my digital camera was a fatality, along with some other items I had moved to the counter to take pictures of, including a shoulder holster I had purchased from Tom Heller.

btw, I've purchased several items from this gentleman, and they are as represented and warranted for buyer final inspection and approval. He is a pleasure to deal with and apparently has a great store of knowledge and material. I recommend him.

Hi all,

This thread is old, but I recently got the same holster than Pisto :
Otto Koberstein
Landsberg a/W
1942

Oddly, 1/2 inch below of this marking, there's a WaA eagle without number.
