Hope I am not out of line but there certainly is a lot of well informed people on this board who have been extremely helpful. I picked up a really nice military holster recently and was wondering if anyone could ID it for me. This item will be placed on ebay for auction this week starting on Sunday.
The inside looks to be marked M11 II/H
Thanks in advance.

There is a 1% service charge for this information which can be sent to Grunts Military. LOL!

Sorry, Redleg. That Holster is a bit too small to hold a Sig.

At first glance given the shape of the holster and the fastener I would say it is a makarov (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.keepshooting.com/productimages/firearmaccessories/holster/russian-makarov-holsterbig.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.keepshooting.com/firearmaccessories/holsters/russian-makarov-holster.htm&usg=__e9oLDskXF8aLRxDYopGf2j-pN3o=&h=600&w=600&sz=67&hl=en&start=8&sig2=RyGbSOWYNbTVX6bo2ComZg&um=1&tbnid=FyUEKPdj3Rw4cM:&tbnh=135&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmakarov%2Bholster%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN% 26um%3D1&ei=y8zpSufPNoGeMaDN5acN) holster.
Possibly East German in origin. (no chinese or cyrllic characters)
