Marc..No harm! WW1 holsters can be a bit different..This one is a little like you say. The loops ARE canted..See the right one way above the hinge? The left is just to the bottom edge? These are a little unusual in that they have a large loop in them too..Stitching size varies a lot on WW1 holsters. Some are made like commercial holsters..seemingly with a dressmakers sewing machine! Tiny thread and close stitching. Most though are like this ..large spacing between holes and a medium to large thread.
WW2 holsters start out with small thread and the closer to 42-43 the larger the thread got! The thread was a linen..made fron the flax plant and is actually pretty weak as modern thread goes by comparison. The thicker/more thread count..2-3-4- it was the stronger.
