I believe the original source for the above misinformation is the esteemed Ian Hogg. I first read that same M1917 drivel in his book "German Pistols and Revolvers". I am travelling now so the exact quote is not possible but he explains away everything to reworks. Needless to say, he never addresses all the 1914-1916 LP08 holsters.
Keep in mind that this person is a frequent "expert" on the History Channel, etc.
