Pistol, I´m a German collector and my English is not the best. But I hope it´s good enough that you will know what I mean.
Your holster is an Bavarian holster and your gun is also Bavarian.
It seems that the Luger was iossued at first to the 1. Battaillon of the Bavarian 16. Infantry Regiment which was stationed in Passau and Landshut. Later it was issued to the 2. Battaillon of the Bavarian 2. Reserve Infantrie Regiment.
Because your Luger is a commercial one it seems that it belonged to an officer who was at first member of the 16 Inf Reg. and may be during the Great war member of the B. 2. Res. Inf. Reg.
If the tool you mentioned is a Crown/C accepted tool than it is an Erfurt tool. Only Erfurt Lugers got the C/C acceptance mark.
Erfurt tools have another shape than DWM tools.
I attach a photo of an C/C tool. May be it is the one like yours.
Best regards Klaus
