Mike,
It is a known modification, and while it may not seem "logical", it is illustrated in Goertz and Sturgess.
The cord was sealed with a lead seal , IIRC.

The cord and seal were not for "retention" only to show that the pistol was "in" the holster and had not been removed or "monkeyed" with. The fact that the hole was not "punched" is irrelevant to its use.

With over 1800 pages in G and S, and a not so hot index, it may take me a while to find the page!
