Hello All,
I bought a lot of seven holsters at an auction last Sunday because two of them appear to be DDR Makarov. One has NVA over II/S which I think is standard army. But the other one is different and I couldn't find the markings through a Google search. So, I thought I'd reach out to the cognoscenti to get some ideas. Below is a photo, any notions appreciated.
I found a DAMW in a Google book scan. Deutsches Amt für Messwesen und Warenprüfung = German Agency for Metrology and Inspection of goods. Metrology is the study of measurement. While it might make sense that this bureaucracy may have been required to monitor the quality of holsters being manufactured, I find it unusual they would have placed their stamp in the holster but no other organization.
Can anybody help me figure out what this holster is all about?
Thanks for reading.
