Hello

Hello to all.

After cleaning I have found a marking (look like a crown and a letter) on the cap of the cap from the shoulder board.
Can please someone say what this is?

Thanks and best regards.

Olivier, it is an Imperial German Army acceptance stamp similar to that on your stock. I have seen several toe boots marked like that.

,
I believe that George is correct. But, if I may offer a second opinion, it looks like it may be a crown "R" and it may be a old German monarchies way of reserving this for a future gift to your favorite artillery Luger collector on his birthday or as a Christmas present.

This is just a thought.

Most succinct and knowledgable comment Norm has ever made :-)

The toe boot on my Arty has the sigh J/B on it. Pretty sure it stands for Jerry Burney!

Hello to all and in particular to Big Norm (Norman)

Sir Norman you say
"But, if I may offer a second opinion, it looks like it may be a crown "R" and it may be a old German monarchies way of reserving this for a future gift to your favorite artillery Luger collector on his birthday or as a Christmas present."

No no and no if there was an crown with an BN (for Big Norm) or a N (for Norman) then YES. LOL

Thanks
for the interest of this holster and shoulder.
