[lugerholsterrepair]

John, Hard to say. I do restoration work every day and if I pick up the holster a week later even I can't tell what I did to it.

The shoulder strap rings are typically post war. It appears that the strap rings are also belt loops. I don't know what came off where the holes are.

I don't know of many if any holsters that have holes for ventalation. Mostly holsters are made to keep out mud, dust dirt, water etc and holes are not good for keeping things out.

Names inscribed in holsters are mostly meaningless. They are the owners, either original or captured. Lots of G.I.'s wrote there names on holsters much to the dismay of collectors later on.

Good luck with your new find! Keep looking, the pleasures in the hunt! Jerry Burney
