Default Unusual Holster

These have been discussed before in 2009. Klaus was trying to find the origin. Seems some were manufactured and some were converted WWI holsters during the Weimar Era. This one is a converted WWI holster. There is enough of the manufacturer's name to determine it was originally made by E. G. Leuner Bautzen. Simpson has one currently for sale ($495). Some have the 1934 time frame rod holder on the tool pouch. Some like this one have only a tool pouch. Does anyone have any idea who these were made/converted for? There are too many around to just be a lark. Maybe Weimar Police Unit? Would be nice to figure these out. Thanks for the help.
