Unknown Luger Holster

What's wrong with this Luger holster?
It has no markings and a different tool pocket button.
With this holster came a 1915 DWM (already sold)
An early police holster or maybe a fake?

I would call it a fake. It sure ain't from 1915!

I also would think that it is a fake. One thing is the kind of closing (hope it´s correct English)- the Police type come later than 1915. The other thing are the belt loops- they should be made in a bit sloping (hope it´s ....). The original describtion of the Imperial holster mentioned this!

Possible could be that the holster is a private buy of an officer. I remember such a holster as a private one.

So we perhaps will not find the truth.

I have my doubts. It looks like a very bad restoration. The holster appears to have parts restitched and it has been repainted.
