Uncategorised 1940 dated P08 Holster

[George Anderson]

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.

L 36922(k) appears to be a Feldpostnummer (Luftwaffe?)

lpga = Luftgaupostamt K?nigsberg, Preussen

Hi George,

Military Luger's holsters are usually marked with the makers name (or code) and year of manufacture.

It can helps you to narrowed the research a bit more.

Greetings,

Douglas
