Leon, An interesting subject to be sure. As far as 1935 Army holsters go, I don't believe there are a hundred in the World. They are one of the most rare holsters I know of. 1934's are somewhat scarce but prolific compared with 35's.
I cannot see either of the tool pouch studs on the holsters you show on your link. 1934's were quite large and noticeable for their size.
The second holster you show has a Police top flap on it's tool pouch. These were not pointed but blunt in shape compared with the normal run of tool pouch flaps. I suspect your 1935's with the cleaning rod tool conversion could be Police modifications.
Since there is no way to tell, we will never know for sure!
Observations of these very rare holsters are limited by their scarcity.

What is really rare is the original cleaning rod for these. Lots of repro's around but an original is a find to be sure! There is a big difference in the two.

One other thing, Otto Sindel made many Police holsters. The flap shows a fairly large hole in it, I suspect the button is large...

Anyone else out there with a 1935 Army..Not Police, who would like to weigh in?

Thanks Leon, Jerry Burney
