Ed, Bill & Ron seem to have covered all the bases here!
WW1 holsters converted-Likely for Police use. Probably for general Army use as well as the Police had very specific cleaning rods during the Weimar era.
1926-29 holsters made or converted..hard to say really.
1934 holster deffinately made with the cleaning rod apparatus..the only year I know of for sure. Not all of them have it though.
It would be very difficult to say if a holster was actually made with it originally. It was a simple thing to add on.
The 1934 with this on it has a very large stud on the tool pouch. This was to accomodate the double leather of the tool pouch and the cleaning rod strap.
