I was told the holster is an original German shoulder holster, commonly unmarked(which would fit since this was a Calvary gun). There are no markings on this holster. I have zero information on the history of this gun. In my hours of research I have found very little information on the 1917/20. The only thing I could find was "Receivers from reserve stocks, where the year of manufacture does not correspond with the year of completion of the weapon, will receive a 2.1mm high correction for the year of completion behind the manufacture-year in fractional form." No information as to why it would have been in reserves, or why it would have been completed after the treaty of Versailles but lack the 1920 Weimar republic property mark.
