WW1 conversion

Hi Jerry,
I agree with you about the holster being sent out to a cottage industries for alteration to its current configuration. But could it have gone back to a armory or authorized repair facility for minor repairs or inspection where the droop eagle stamp was applied for re issue to the new army being built up? I wonder how many times holsters get pulled back for repairs and sent back out or replaced to supply the needs of the army. I am guessing that repairs were made sometimes in the field if not they would have to have been sent to somewhere to determine its use for the military. And it repairs or inspections were done would they apply new stamps for re issue? I have no proof or documentation of this theory. Just observations of arsonal stamps applied to arms and equipment.
Best regards,
Jeffrey
