To ensure authenticity, the following markings and stamps are typically found on the back of a brown P08 pistol holster: - The model designation P.08
- A manufacturer's code or the full name of the manufacturer, including the place of manufacture
- The year of manufacture
- An acceptance stamp from the Army Ordnance Office (Waffenamt-Abnahme), often depicted as an eagle with a test number (e.g., WaA stamp). Additionally, ink stamps from clothing offices (e.g., BA stamp) may be found under the flap, or specific unit or regimental markings may be present on the back, indicating its military origin.
