I have Reichswehr unit marked Imperial dated holsters with this cleaning rod pouch conversion. It was a post WWI addition to military holsters, and I believe some Police holsters. If Jan says 1926? That's probably when they started adding them.
Robert,
The "arrow" on your holster isn't a standard marking that I have ever seen. Possibly a personal identification mark added by the soldier it was issued to.
