Luger Holster Marking

[Paul Carter]

I recently picked up a small group of holsters including this one. On the back it has a unit marking E.K.St. Can anyone help me determine what that stands for ?

That is the maker mark of Ehrhardt and Kirsten.

Hi Paul,

They also made P.38 holsters. Here is a link to pictures of my example.

Thanks for the input guys. It is not your typical maker's marking.
