Over many years of buying Lugers fresh from vets, I've about seen it all. WWI guns, holsters, stocks, snail drums, etc. were brought back from WWII. A WWII gun in a WWI holster (or vice versa) is very common. I can't remember ever buying a fresh WWII Luger from a vet in the same year holster. Even when they still have the matching mags, the holsters are always a year off or more.

I've seen WWII Mausers brought back with Artillery stocks & snail drums. The Germans used whatever was available. Your WWII Luger in a WWI holster is what that vet brought back & I'm sure thats the way he got it off the German that was carrying it.
