Pistol,
It could have been during the Great War that a regiment was in several Infantry divisions but before the war two Infantry regiments made an Infantry Brigade and two Brigades made an Infantry Division.

I attach some photos of blacked holsters according the 1915 dated order.

The first three photos are showing a brown holster of the 2 squadron of the Dragoon Regiment No. 22. The next photos are showing a blacked holster of the 1 squadron of the same Regiment.

The next two photos are showing a blacked Bavarian holster.

Regards Klaus

Interesting. Is the inside of the top flap ever blackend on the 1915 blackend holsters? I ask becasue my holster is dyed black on the inside flap/top. But the inside portion where the gun fits in is dark brown. Just like your photos.

If the inside top flap was never blackend, would that mean my holster was blackened years later after WWI?

In your final photo. Why does that holster have a significant portion brown on the right. Did the black dye wear off, or was it not blackend completly/entirely?

Was the holster stitching also blackend or left white.

Thanks again.
