I agree that the holster as it appears now is not very pretty. IMO the German craftsman never provided the lace, but I think the G.I. must have added the lace as soon as he got back to the ranch. The stitching is expertly done, and the original workmanship is excellent. Here's what the gun that came with it looks like. The serial number suffix is a "b" and the grip strap has the unit marking 6.D.10. which I have not researched. The chamber is dated 1921.
