3.k.2.105? Newbie trying to read his new holster

livingthepast · 04-25-2003, 05:59 PM

Hello all!

Still haven't quite gotten a luger in my hands yet, but did buy a unit marked wwII vet bringback holster in well used condition. It looks from the pictures on ebay to be a wwi reissued dyed black holster. Anyway, the unit marking on the holster is 3.K.2.105. Any help on what unit this was would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Brian, I could be wrong, but I believe that it is a WW1 holster, as they generally didn't unit mark in WW2. (lots of WW1 items used in WW2 or brought back from WW2)

If I find some time today, I will look it up (try to look it up

).

IIRC, that would be Third Cavalry Regiment, Second Troop, pistol 105.
