Default Rare holster on eBay
I just ran across this holster on eBay. It's a 1936 production holster in so,so condition.

It is scarce , if not rare, in that it's unit marked as per Reichswehr format. I can't make out the Company number / Pioneer Batallion 32.

This is one of the first, if not the first, holster of this vintage that I have seen with a unit mark. Unit marking of Army small arms and equipment was ordered to cease in 1934.
