Holsters are all part of the collecting quest.
Wow! :bow:
You have an unbelievable collection of German weapons David! (Haben Sie einen Tiger-Panzer auch?) ;)
Great photos and presentation as well.
Thank you for sharing!

That Radom and Stg 43, are probably the cleanest specimens I've ever seen. The rest are nothing to sneer at either. Very impressive.
Nice collection!
What is the code & date on your MP 40? I'd say it is a bnz 44, but could be a late 43.
What are the proofs on your 2 HPs and the markings on the black holster (which is an uncommon holster color)? Do the mags have matching WaAs?
bearhunter - there is no such thing as an StG 43!

Beautiful displays .... :)

The SUBCONTRACTORS that furnished the MP40's PRIME CONTRACTORS with parts and subassemblies stamped their (subcontractor's) letter codes and inspector's Waffenamt-marks on the parts that they supplied. The parts were then shipped to the PRIME CONTRACTOR'S factory for assembly.
SUBCONTRACTORS OF PARTS AND SUBASSEMBLIES:
- Gebrueder Merz, Werz Werk, Frankfurt, Main; "cos".

Sarge,
I am not sure if your question related to the markings on the HP magazines?
e/WaA140 on one of them...I have no idea about the other one.

Is the black holster you were referring to a holster for the Radom?
bnz marked I think.
