Ristan, I hope you were not calling my rig a fake. Perhaps I was misunderstanding your post. Not a vet of WW2, but would be hard to believe that the entire US Army in Germany at that time was unable to put a web carrier on the back of a Luger holster. While I was in the Navy, about 1970, at a small fire base So. VN, we had a Marine detachment, we were really part of it, and as I recall a marine with the MOS of "web repaire" or some such. Well he had a heavy duty sewing machine and all the tools to do such repairs, I just called him our seamstress...just to get a rise. Never piss off a grunt with a gun, he had one also. I feel that the gun in question is as pure a German Vintage as they come, like I said tool, mag and holster all match, and match to type and lettering as my other 2 SD's marked Weimar guns....
