Is the holster marked on the back. If so, what is it's era?

Perhaps the best explanation of this commercial pistol is that it was "Drafted" and returned at some point for rework into a Military pistol.

The die stamped numbers on the pistol exterior look like the original DWM dies to me. Dies on the grips and bottom of the magazine seem to match in typeface and size. The typeface on the breech block looks different and could be later.
