In about 1923 the Finns purchased 5000 alpha commerical luger with 7.65x95mm long barrels, complete with surplus LPO8 stocks. Your holster appears to be one that they made to fit on the stock to hold these pistols. It may be that when they converted this holster for belt wear, it may have been opened up at the toe to accomodate the slightly longer standard 100mm PO8 barrel. TH
