    1. It looks like the Austrian Holster for the Browning Hi Power. These pistols were used by Austrian police forces after WWII. I don't know about the army.
    2. A recent acquaintence of mine has a superb light brown P08 holster. Inside the cover the following is lettered in ink in the most professional manner: Oberst H. Rothwangl L 36922(k) Lgpa. Konigsberg/Pr. I have searched graves registration and the 1918 Ehrenliste. He doesn't show up in either. Can anyone here help with a possible identification? Many thanks.
    3. Can someone out there tell me what unit Joachim Ribbentrop was in during the First War? The information I have found in on-line biographies is obviously not correct. Thanks.
    4. I would say that the unit mark can be interpreted as Bavarian 16th Infantry Regiment, 11th Company. A second possibility but less likely would be Bavarian 16th Infantry Regiment Staff, Weapon number 11. I doubt the latter because traditional unit markings called for the weapon number to be 2.1mm and the unit number be 3.1mm.
    5. Nesredep, I collect WWI German militaria but especially unit marked equipment and weapons. Any German Navy marked military equipment always draws a premium especially if it is pistol related.
    6. It appears to be absolutely correct. I would say that it is quite a valuable find.
    7. Very nice markings. Would you post a photo of the entire back?
    8. Eleventh Corps staff, weapon one. Could have been issued to anyone from a courier to a teamster (out rider).
    9. Christophe, the cartridge is dated and was manufactured in 1917. The Reichsmarine did not come into existance until around 1922. Still your cartridges are very nice and highly collectible. In my collection I have only a very few truncated cartridges. They are highly sought after by collectors here in the US.
    10. Joel, bingo! The round was built in 1917, the letters in the headstamp markings represent manufacturer, lots and dates.
    11. I believe that the truncated 9mm Parabellum rounds were phased out in 1917 with the introduction of the TM08 (Trommelmagazin 1908). The TM08 does not function well with the truncated round. The last cartridge you show you refer to as Reich Marine. Have you made this determination based on the "RM" marking?
    12. Too bad about Plank Chris. Regardless of that what you are doing here is really quite a generous service. Many thanks.
