Cut-Down Arty Holster...?

Is this some sort of WWI cut-down LP-08 holster...???

Maybe just the angle of the photo, cuz it looks odd to me also...

Pete, Really hard to tell from the poor photo's but I believe it might be an old repro. If it is original it has really been monkeyed with.
The thing that looks like a stock block is way too wide to fit any stock slot.
The single belt loop below this would carry the holster in a really awkward way. It is pretty much standard on the early repro holsters. Just like the Artillery sold from Germany recently that fetched such an outrageous sum for a repro.
Take a close look at the magazine pouch, it is way too large and boxy for an original. I suspect this holster is not original for several reasons but because of the photo's I can't be 100% sure. At any rate it is butcherd up. Bad cow peelin's in my opinion...Jerry Burney
