1928 DATED LEATHER HEER MODEL HOLSTER

[signalman]

This is the earliest dated leather heer model holster I have run across. It is dated 1928, and has seen a lot of service, yet is still in pretty nice condition. There are little differences between this holster and later holsters in the 1930's. It is also Unit Marked.

Of course being dated 1928, it proves there were Original standard length barrel STEEL Heer models produced in 1928 at the same time the LONG barrel models were also made.

Does anyone know what the unit marked numbers mean ??

According to the 1923 Reichswehr marking orders discussed in the book of Don Bryans and Joachim Gortz, the marking on your holster indicates 2.(company)/Kraftfahr Abteilung 6. Waffen 10.

Howard, I don't have much, if any, history of Reichswehr units. I will search around and see what I can come up with.
