Acquired a 1944 byf #5399t and it came in this holster. Do not know what these numbers mean and would appreciate a little education.

Entirely possible.quote:Originally posted by taudelt
Got to see an old friend who knows a lot more about all of this than I do and he agrees with Fritz about them being contract numbers. He has been at it for a long a time and has spent a lot of time in Germany. I would probably bet next weeks pay on CONTRACT NUMBERS is what it is all about.
On WWII German Hi-Power holsters, the vast majority do not have the number. Likewise on the Luger, P-38 and other German holsters. Think of how many you have seen without the number as compared to the quantity you have seen with the number.quote:Originally posted by taudelt
I would think that all of the holsters would carry the same contract number. Would be nice for somebody to find two with the same number. That would kind of nail it down..........
