Holster date marks

Were all Imperial military Luger Holsters marked with the date? I have one marked in an oval barely readable stamp.

It is impossible to say all Imperial holsters were dated. However the vast majority were. I also have a G,Schroters holster that I cannot find a date on. Many times these dates are hard to find and very worn off. Bill

Yours look like this?

Can anyone tell me what the middle line in the stamped oval says on these Schroters holsters? When were they made? I cannot find a date on mine.

Not all received marks - some commercial holsters as an examples, but I think that a light stamp (ink) or lightly struck one could easily be worn away

Figured it out with some detective work on this site. Thanks to earlier posts from wlyon and Klause, and holster list from the latter. Middle line is Nachfolger.
