Just got an old lugerholster with unit markings today.
It was originally a LP.08 holster with the top flap secured by a stud, cleaning rod pouch and attachment for sholder stock.
Later (probably during the weimar period) it was cut down to fit a standard P.08, the cleaning rod pouch was replaced by a mag pouch, and the stud closure was replaced by a standard army buckle closure.
On the inside it is marked both "J.t.C(...), BERLIN, 1915" and also marked "L.EFFEKTEN, (...) RICHTER, (...) 1918". It is sadly not possible to read all of it.
But the holster also has two unit markings:
The flap is marked:
6/49.11C
The back is marked:
S.Kö.I.1838
Anyone know what unit's they are?
Thanks
