1918 Luger Holster

Ben Evans · 11-06-2013, 10:09 AM

Hi chaps

This just arrived today, a very nice luger holster dated 1918 and made by N Burghard, Pasing. Inside has a unit mark of B.A.XI or clothing issue depot of Cassel. If anyone has any more info ref this mark could you please let me know. There is also a ink mark with R M and ?QMS. So for me I think that is some ones initials and the other bit stand for ? quarter master sergeant. Could be a "U" so could read Unit Quarter Master Sergeant. Again if anyone has any thoughts on this please let me know

Cheers

Ben

These Burghard holsters have always been one of my favorites. I like the markings on the back...very attractive. Plus they always seem to be excellently made. Very nice,indeed.

Cheers guys, I must admit I do like the holsters, the qualilty of the leather is unreal and they are so well made and most are maker marked

Cheers
