dear sirs

pls look at this stamp
i am sure this is BA XI , but the L.Z.A Mark is Karlsruhe, but the correct BA for Karlsruhe is XIV , is this right?

The holster was repaired by Zimmermann in Halle, great work

regards tom

This is quite common. The LZA marking indicates point of production while the BA indicates point of issue. I have seen many 1918 Bavarian produced holsters that were subsequently issued with BAXIII stamps.

In my opinion it's absolutely correct.

I would wonder if it would be issued with the B.A.XIII. Most were issued to the B.A.XI. (Kassel) in the last war years.
