Arrow 1917 DWM Artillery with unusual holster

This 1917 L P 08 is new to me, but may have been seen here before as it came from another board member.

If you have seen it , just skip on by.

Serial number 4342 e, with Weimar era grip marking of :

I./R.46. , which has been
interpreted as 1st Battalion of infantry Regiment 46 (staff).

Holster is dated 1915, modified by adding a magazine pouch and a flap extension to the top to cover same. There is a small tag inside,
marked to a different Regiment and owner than the pistol, but also in Weimar style; IV./A.R.8

Thanks for looking.
