Thanks for sharing your new acquisition with us!
It's a nice piece!
And, your photos are pretty good, as well!
The holster is very interesting to me - it's definitely different than any of I seen before and so worn that it's hard to believe the closing strap is placed wrong. The "L Z A" code is for "Mauser-Werke, Karlshule plant" (per The Standard Directory of Proof Marks - Wirnsberger).
It looks so much like my own 1942 holster, but that closing flap isn't right!?
That is exactly how the longer artillery luger holsters are made (LP08).
Also, I've never seen a holster stamp under the belt straps - very odd.
Store you gun in a nice cloth lined pistol case, not the holster!
(in the Technical Information section on this site (left sidebar), you'll find the suffix code charts and a lot of information that may help you understand more about it.)
