Turkish Police rig

Thanks for your comments, Dwight. Ed is right, the maker is AKAH. The firm made holsters for several commercial contracts by Mauser. Of interest, the magazine pouch is sewn on separately, in the WW1 style...very well made. I don't know how the pistol got out of Turkey in such good shape (witness #101 on Pheonix Investment Arms), but it obviously did. Mike Krause knows a collector who has one in TOTAL mint condition. Apparently the sear bar was defective and, believe it or not, it was just discarded and NEVER used!
