WW1 Unit Marking

alanint · 10-18-2015, 10:01 AM

I've been shown a holster stamped with the following:

6.DIV.11.

This could also be:

6.D1T.11

As it is stamped in Leather, it is indistinct.

Any ideas?

Guys,

No insights on this?

Is it an ink marking? Is the marking enclosed within a rectangle? Is the holster maker marked and dated?

Here's what I was sent, George.

Thanks!

Due to location, I believe it is a Weimar marking indicating 6th Division (Staff?) weapon 11

I wish I could have run across this holster a couple of years ago, before I sold this 1921...

"6th Div Stab #10"
