I hope the police uniform membership find this police style Luger holster interesting. I have never personally seen another one with these markings.
Condition is near excellent.
Bahnschutzpolizei marked holster interior.

Great holster. Can you get a close up of the Bahnschutz stamp?

The Letters RBD ist for "Reichsbahndirektion"
The German "Reichsbahn" (Railways) cuts into some areas "Reichsbahndirektionen". The name of an RBD was normaly the name of the Town where the Director his Headquater/Department had been.
Thiese here is the RBD Halle/Saale (the Town "Halle" at the River "Saale" near Leipzig; now in Sachsen-Anhalt in the East Germany)

Now that is nicely marked holster and it must be a rare example! I also like that the maker and the authority stamp are both Halle.
Excellent information DRS provides above. DRS, welcome to the forum!

A very nice locally procured holster! Now all you need is a Railway Police marked luger to go in it.

DRS
Thank you for the detailed information on the markings.
ORPO
Would love to find a RR unit marked Luger. Are there any specifically marked to a RR? Never actually seen one stamped to the RR police, not that I have seen all of them.

Joe,
All the Railway Police lugers I have seen have had the winged wheel emblem branded into the wooden grip. I also have a Railway Police CZ27 with Deutsche Reichsbahn markings in the form of "DR" within a circle on the trigger guard as shown om page 58 of Still's, "Axis Pistols."
Rifles were marked differently, with RBD markings indicating the railhead.
