I've been trying to fulfill some commitments made to Jan regarding photos. Alas, I have not yet found those that I was looking for but did come across these. The lanyard is thought to be a WWII period lanyard for a P08. It measures 40" in length.

The photo is one of a trench raiding party with some newly taken Canadian POW's. You might note that the Canadian seem more pleased with the circumstances than do their captors. The photo seems to have been taken in 1915 or later.

You might note that most or all of the Germans are P08 armed. Bread bag strap for a lanyard. Right hand pocket for a holster. I would bet that the left hand pockets are stuffed with magazines.

What does this photo say to matched magazines? Unnumbered magazines? armorer replacements?

I have read that the Imperial German Army was the most "pistol armed" army up until its time. This phot and others that I have seem to confirm that.
