Help with Black AWM -3-11 Holster

I have a black AWM, workshop three, 1911 holster. Inside top flap is marked 16.J.R.1.B.

On the the left side (still inside top flap) it is marked 2.R.J.R. IIB

The holster came with a commercial PO8 with serial # that indicats the year of manufacture was 1910-1913. The take down tool has a crown over a maybe a german script C.

Do the markings inside the holster indicate it was issued for military use later? Does the J.R. signify Jager/Infantry Regiment and R.J.R reserve Jager Regiment? From WWI or WWII?

This gun and holster was taken from a German at Munich in Dec. 1944 Germany. The German claimed to be the mayor or a high ranking political official of Munich. He was in his 50's.

The German owner would have been in his 20's around 1911 and maybe he was the original owner that served in WW1 if someone can confirm the aformentioned RJR and JR stamps are WWI military units.
