I got this 6.35mm MARS from a veteran.
Note the unknown knights head logo on the slide.
Anyone ever see it before? Holster is Fischer 1942.
Captured in May 1945 by Connecticut Nutmeggers who took German prisoners as they were surrendering.

Boothroyd lists a Czechoslovakian 6.35 called a "Mars". Made until '45 by Kohout at Kdyne in Bohemia. He doesn't have a photo but describes it as a copy of a 1906 Browning "vest pocket" model.

I know about that feature, but I enlarged the picture in my photo program as well.

I think those are rank insignia on the holster.
Likely put on by the Nutmeggers.

Yes, I know, Im sure he put them on, but he forgot.
He says he "took" it that way. Hes over 80 though.
