Thanks ED...I just emailed Karl and talked with him about this repair. Just for the members information I will display that Email below..

Karl, On these WW2 style holsters the Germans used part of the back of the
holster to make the hinge.

It can be repaired but only one way. It would be necessary to add a hinge
similar to WW1 holsters. They had a hinge that was seperate.

It would be impossible to put the broken leather back together.

It would change the style of your holster and it would never be what it was.

To add a hinge using linen thread and German style repair techniques would
run $65.00 plus shipping back to Norway.
