Eric,
I have no problem with your posting the photos of your excellent Lugers with and without the country of origin marking...what I was commenting on is you calling the GERMANY marking an import mark...it isn't, it is an export mark.
I have no idea of where the 1902 holsters were made because to the best of my knowledge there are no known 1902 holsters.
Were all holsters beside the Test holsters made in Germany? Of course not, but the question is too broad to answer. As to what firm, are you asking about US Military holsters, German military holsters, US commercial holsters, German commercial holsters?
The Test holster is not the rarest, there are a number of more limited surviving holsters, e.g. the Borchardt-Luger Swiss Trials, the Benke-Tiemann, etc.
I am not trying to pick on you, but it would be helpful if you limited your questions to a single topic rather than a shotgun inquiry about a variety of topics that would take several pages to answer.
