WWI Artillery Luger Leather SOFT SHELL Holster commercial ?

[CorporalGungee]

Hi,
I just picked up this holster and can't find out any information on it , and would appreciate any info . I think it's commercial ? It seems to have had some type of disc or pin on it too at some time . it looks like the stiching is all done crocked , probably done on by hand on a sewing machine ?

I just noticed something else a little strange , it's on the buckle / The roller tube ( a roll pin type with a seam ) has a notch in the center to keep the latch pin in place and centered . If someone knows about when this type of pattern came out , it could help date what era the holster is from . The buckle is about 20% smaller than a normal buckle that is usually found on a Luger holster .

The belt loops are of the same type of leather as the BACK with the texture / pattern / print , BUT that is on the INSIDE and can't be seen in the pictures . So I'd have to think that they are original to the holster .
I added a couple new pictures of the belt loops so that one can see that the textured surface is turned towards the inside ( backwards in my opinion )

I looked at the pull up knot on the holster and it is different ; it's actually doubled over and then pulled through the very end that has a slit and another slit so that it forms TWO bumps with the strap going through the middle . it looks kind of like a letter "Y" from the side and each side at the top being doubled over . The leather is very thin for being used in a holster .
I was not able to post a picture of the knot as I reached max limit .


I do think that the stitching is common dress-markers thread used in an regular clothing type sewing machine . Also I think that you are correct in that it was assembled and sewn by a novice on a taylors / home style sewing machine . However the cutting of the leather , maybe from a pattern ? ; seems to be just fine and not irregular at all ( not like it was cut with a pair of succors )


The corduroy type leather is very thin being used in it's construction and the print of it's pattern reminds me of Elephant Skin .
