    Req information for Browning 1900

    I have a Browning 1900 pistol w/ holster that I'd like some more information about. I'd like some more information regarding the marking on the holster that appears to be an IronEagle with the swastika in a circle over the SS lightning bolts. First question, what is that mark exactly? Secondly, is it legit..could that be an original holster with the stamp? Lastly, is it possible to track down any information on the issuing of this pistol via the serial number. Thanks!

    Here are the pics:

    Looks to me like a navy mark more then SS.

      It is a Reichsmarine marked holster, probably for a model 1934 Mauser.

        Looks more like a III Reich KM marked holster to me, post 1935. Used for the !934 Mauser and Uniques

          You are, of course correct, it is a Kriegsmarine stamp not a Reichsmarine stamp.
          I will go back and correct my error.

            Unfortunately, this place doesn't allow us the liberty of correcting our errors, of whatever kind. Unless one instantaneously recognizes them.
