unit markings "P.W.3341" and "staghorn" acceptance stamp

Tom, I really can't add much to what I've already said. I agree that the holster was probably manufactured for use by the German Imperial Army, perhaps a W�¼rttemburg unit, and later issued to the Westfalen police school at M�¼nster. As to your questions about a police school in W�¼rttemburg, Angolia & Taylor state on p. 122 of Uniforms, Organization & History of the German Police, Vol. I, "In W�¼rttemburg two police training battalions (Polizeischulabteilungen) were formed from the Schupo replacement depot (Polizeiersatzdepot) and preparatory school (Polizeivorschule)." So, yes, W�¼rttemburg had its own police school(s). I don't think this holster belonged to them, however.
