Paul, George is absolutely right, the serrations are indicative of manufacture by Veb Ernst, Thalmann Werk in 1957/8 according to page 292 of Luger Holsters and Accessories by Eugene Bender. This was previously the Haenel Plant. It also indicates the tool may have a mottled or alligator type of surface on the back. Take a close look and see. This tool would not have been marked that I know of.
Gerben is also correct, This holster used to have a GI belt hanger. It was removed and amaturish belt loops were installed, the 4 holes plugged. This might have been done last week, hard to tell. Jerry Burney
