Is this a police or military holster?

JD, Sounds a little unusual. Need more information as John says to determine what it might be.I would guess it was an unauthorized addition somewhere along the line. Certainly not standard. The 0 ring between the belt loops needs to be seen to determine how it got there.Usually by observing the stitching, leather and placement one can get some idea of who, what, when. You are describing a normal WW1 era holster that was dyed black by Imperial decree. All German leather equiptment was supposed to receive this treatment but many escaped. Jerry Burney
