Bill..Stitching at the bottom edge of the lining was common on Artillery holsters in WW1 but not on 4" regular holsters.
The changes seen in the new pattern holsters took place at the earliest as far as I know in 1925. 1919 to 1924-25-26 or even 27 and 28 holsters are just so rare it is hard to determine exactly what's what. Seems that 1929 was the next big holster year and a lot of Police holsters were made then.

So if your C.Pose 1925 dated holster is in the new style with or without the lining stitching we can determine the new style took place in 1925 not 1926.
