Hi Bill,

Front Under lid Reichwehr mark? 2.A.R.7.22 (2nd battery of artillery regiment #7 weapon 22)

Outside lid 2.22. (2nd battery weapon 22.)

That's correct...

That is a nice holster with lots of history.

Love the clear, well defined markings. Very, very nice.

Nice one!

Ron sold me it's brother, rebuilt to take a P38 (!), a while ago. Same 1.U.R. marking, same maker.

very nice Bill,

Incredablely clear unit markings. Wish more of them on the early holsters were that clear.

Thanks for sharing,

Joe

I question the 1 U.R. over 1916 markings on both holsters shown. I don't recall ever seeing a unit marking over a date and the die set looks too modern. TH

I'm still looking for a 1916 date P38 to go with it

Personally, I think the lettering is OK, this was the general typographical style of those days.
But then again, none of us were there when these were marked.

I also doubt two obviously authentic holsters located so far apart would have essentially identical fake stampings....
