Welcome, Glenn,
As to the magazines, it is the reverse. The one with the large "1" is the police magazine and the other one with the small acceptance stamp would be the army. As to the holster, 1934 dated holsters are scarse and collectable. If it were mine, I would send it to Jerry Burney for repair and preservation. The small pocket inside is for the takedown tool, as you stated.
The cut at the bottom of the holster may have been to remove an area that had frayed through. The leather on the back of this lower section is oddly wrinkled and may have been the result of water immersion or heat.
The halos around the barrel numbers indicate that the finish is original. The gun is in very nice shape. If all the other numbers match, finding a rear toggle link with the right number would not be impossible. I would start with the site's "wanted" section.
Congratulations on a nice heirloom!
