Jan,

a great presentation of a fine holster! I guess, the hand written note is not "Leutn. D. Ray", but "Leutn. d. Res.", what means Leutnant der Reserve.

Regards

"Leutn. d. Res.", what means Leutnant der Reserve.
Thanks for the correction. Corrected above.

I found the number of your P08 in the original list with the III. Bat. in my Landau formation list. If you are interested of a copy send me a mail ( [email protected] ). Regards from Germany

I cannot thank you enough for the 1914 dated Landau formation list of Lugers. It further links this Luger to its unit history
