Storage methods - KM Leuchtpistole SL/SLd stainless

[Replace]

Hi,

A friend of mine has asked me this question - how did the German Kriegsmarine, storage the KM Leuchtpistole SL/SLd stainless, aboard the KM boats and submarines?
...in holsters, boxes or....?

It would be perfect, if someone has a photo or a link.

Just a guess, I would think some type of locker. Where it would be secure and dry, easily available to the crew when needed.

A rare accessory: the wooden crate transportation for two pistols SLD (SLD = Sternsignalpistole, doppelläufig) with markings.

It looks like that's where they got the photos in the article:)

I recently found a box like this as well.
It fits an SLD and an SL.

This was a great find. be wary of fakes to be produced in the future. They have been producing fake Sturmpistole boxes for at least a decade.
