Albrecht Kind Holster
AK commercial WWI-style holster converted to police. Only marks are crossed rifles/AK and number 8641, both on rear. From my information AK never made military holsters but did make commercial and new police holsters. This is the only AK commercial to police I have seen. Any more out there? Any idea on time frame?

Bill, there are quite a few AK commercial/police conversions that have Hessische Polizei (H.P.) markings. I believe these were first sold to the police in 1929-30 with buckle closures but were converted by the police sometime in the 1930s.
