Is this a WWI period Military holster? or Commercial? Then what time period? The actual time period spans say 1908-1914-1926. Military issue Luger holsters were in general marked with a maker and date. An Officer purchase might have no markings like this one. It is not specifically commercial. It is made according to military specs of that era. A purely commercial Luger holster usually can be identified with a pin punch alongside the loading tool, a leather covered horseshoe shaped buckle and/or an added tube along the mag pouch for a cleaning rod..In most cases all three of these. There are variations.
Both of your holsters are in dire need of some lanolin on bendable surfaces at least.
This holster has had some modification to the inside top edge of the mag pouch..Likely to accomodate some other mag than a Luger.
