Pete, I'm, as you know, no expert on any Luger holster. However, I have owned ALOT of old holsters and firearms. And from my own experience with judging patina patterns on such. I would vote that the ser# is original to the holster. I'm baseing this on the wear pattern in the area of the number. I don't believe even the most ardent faker would think to or could dye the impressions made by the numbers.It would be very difficult to do so, and make it look natural. I vote authentic!

I would also add. Why would anyone go to the trouble and expense of faking a rare holster, only to sell it for $125.00? The HK dye would cost that much to make.
