Help needed on F Guiremand holster (lot's)

agreed, WW1 army that went into police service later.

note; taking it to the local shoe repair was not the best idea, unless he used period type thread and did the sewing by hand (Jerry Burney does it that way), because the shoe repair guy fixed the issue, but added more holes...

Shoe repair guy did a lot of hand sewing and when using machine went into original holes. Thread not correct and retainer strap also too wide. This holster was in rough shape with strap not even attached when I got it.

All that said the only markings my camera is good enough to do a closeup of are the markings to right of right belt loop as pictured on backside of holster shot. The rest are either small or an attempt to blot out obscures them. To help me out any more will require that the markings be interpreted as I described them with me willing to do whatever to help read them.

Thanks all for what you have shared so far!
