P08 Holster Identification ? :] <img BORDER="0" src='http://boards.rennlist.com/luger/pic.gif'>

Robert Wiggins · 02-03-2002, 02:13 PM

I have a P08 holster which has a marking I have been trying to identify for some time. I offer pictures here for those who consider themselves knowledgeable in the field. Hopefully someone will be able to identify the mark and possibly offer clues to the manufacturer of the holster.

The fact that the Holster contained a Mauser 42 may not be of significance but if you wish further details on the P08 see my entry in the "Owners Corner".

Any help would be appreciated.

Can you provide a larger picture and some additional info, like where on the holster the mark is and any other markings that might be present?

Thanks

Tom

Tom;

here is a larger image. it is on the top left side of the holster where the butt of the P08 would be located, and is covered when the holster flap is down (closed). There are no other markings on the holster.

Hope this helps

Hi Robert,

I have no idea what it is; I have never seen this mark before. Sorry.

I doubt it.

I don't think anyone knows what it is?

Robert, Perhaps this is not an official stamp at all. Maybe it is an impression of something that was not intended to mean anything. Like something that was accidently impressed into the leather. Just a thought. Jerry Burney

Thanks for your reply Burney;

It is definitely a purposely applied stamp of some sort. It is well defined in the leather. I know the holster has not been tampered with as it came home with my father from WWII. He obtained it in Holland directly from a German Lieutenant who surrendered.

If it is not a factory mark, it may have been applied at a unit level or such.
