Don,
* I must say I was greatly influenced by your original post. After review of your posting's pictures again, I think a cross bar might exist on the middle letter of the maker's code. It is very difficult to tell from the one pic due to what appears to be the "tracks" of a stitching (sowing) machine. The last letter now clearly looks like a "v" to me. Therefore, I want to amend/expand my info to you. Please also consider the following PT maker's mark & code.
* PT.08 holsters, marked "dtv", were made by C. Otto Gehrcken, Leder-und-Riemenwerke of Pinneburg (a NW "suburb" of Hamberg). These Luger holsters also bore an E/WaA279 Inspector's stamp; but, are more frequently seen dated "41" or "42".
* A "dlv" maker's code is attributed toDeutsche Edelstahlwerke AG, Werk Remscheid of Remscheid, Germany on Papenberger Strasse 28. However, the Inspector's code listed for these holsters is E/WaA27.
* Thought you might like to also know these alternatives.
Respectfully,
Bob
