I believe Jerry Burney (Lugerholsterrepair) has observed this as well.
Doc,

Same here; 1934 and 1936 reasonable supply. 1935 Military, keep looking.

Parenthetically, an early G-date rig with papers, I got from a vet many years ago had a 1934 holster. One data point.

Also found that virtually all 1935 holsters that I've observed were Otto Sindel.
