Luger Artillery Holster On Ebay

Ron, Yes, I noticed this as well. The regular stitching found on German WW1 double mag pouches is machine stitched. Parts of this piece show regular machine stitching..parts are either an overstitch or the type of stitch found at the top of sugar sacks or paper feed bags. These enable you to pull it out by grabbing the end of a string.
The thread in this appears to be linen which would be correct for a 1945 and earlier construction.
It's my opinion that this was made earlier than 1945. When and by whom is open to debate. Certainly not by the Germans.
