Dear friends,
please let me know your understanding about this picture. Are the Artillery Soldiers wearing an LP08 holster or a Reichsrevolver holster.
Ciao

For the reason that I cannot see any indication of a shoulder strap or stock board, I would guess that they are wearing Reichrevolvers

Given that the LP08 was not issued until 1914 and these fellows seem to be outfitted in pre 1910 uniforms, I would have to guess that they are sporting Reichs Revolvers.

Excellent point, George.
