Aaron, To the best of my knowledge, The lugers were shipped in multi-gun crates by the manufactures to the military warehouse for distribution to various units. Whereas the holster manufacturers shipped these to the clothing issue facilites, where they might be mixed in with old rehabed used holster, which were then issued to recruit depots, units for replacement, etc. for further issue to individuals. If the German military was like ours, some individual then had to sign for his to be turned in at a later date or paid for.
