Speaking of, I see quite a few that are LGK marked (Landesgendarmariekommando) - many times people say that is a post war marking, but maybe someone can tell me this - post WW1 or post WW2? Always wondered that! Pics are cell phone pics, I don't have my photo studio set up at the moment, maybe I'll update the pics when I set it back up.įrancis 'Frank' X. Pics show it has a nice 85% used rust blued finish, this one wasn't refinished and is not unit marked. The capture papers list a lot of camera equipment and a small 4' knife and sheath - maybe one day I can figure out what that was (boot knife?). Everything is matching and correct as well. The standard 8rd clip fits right in the pouch, and it has a leather tab to pull it out. No markings on the holster, pretty much expected for a commercial item. It seems this was a German made holster for this pistol, and the upward facing closing strap leads me to believe it's Police as well. I've yet to hear a reason why from forum searching, but realized that this holster is somewhat unique as well in that every one I have seen posted before has a reworked WW1 M1912 holster of some type. Came from the family estate Lawyer, I'm wanting to try to get some more info about the guy but not sure I want to dig into an estate that has taken 5 years to settle (he died in 2014).Īnyway, this one is a little different than the majority of these as it has no Police Eagle/L on the frame. My love of Beutewaffen notwithstanding, this is a neat set with capture papers and customs tag. I've always wanted one of the Police marked conversions, something about these pistols is alluring to me and I can't tell you why. Picked this up, a friend in NH found it for me after I told him I was looking for one this year (my wish list for the year is pretty short).
