Erfurt 1917 Artillery Holster

George Anderson · 11-16-2005, 03:00 PM

Ron, I can not say that the lack of the stitching is an absolute but that the twenty holsters of mine I looked at indicated that one should expect it to be there. As to the stock, the only original German Imperial military stocks that I know to be original all have the cartouche. The two that I have that lack the cartouche came to me from a very questionable dealer and are in all liklihood counterfeits.

As a further note on the Imperial cartouche of the stocks, I have recently seen some that are almost certainly fake, so watch out.
