Curt, if it is not possible to get a photo of the marking, please let me know the relative heights of the various characters. If it is a Prussian marking, I would expect the 1 to be about 3/4 the height of the letters S, P and O and the 40 to be half the letters' height.

The markings on the holster may also be indicative. When you say it is "under the flap," do you mean it is stamped on the front of the body of the holster where it is covered by the flap or is it stamped on the inside of the flap? I assume that the serial number stamped on the back is on the right rear and that it does not match the serial number of the gun?

For my database, I would appreciate knowing the serial number (and suffix, if any) of the pistol and the serial number on the back of the holster.
