Is it possible that it was intentionally made without markings for a reason? Or, did it somehow mistakenly pass through unmarked and wasn't caught?

I know that many commercial were not marked -and some weren't marked or more likely, stamped with ink and the marking just has gone away IMHO. Ink stampings I think of WW1 era and not WW2 and its definitely a post WW1 design (full leather on back) - but look under the lid for markings - or not and just know you have a army holster.

Thank you Ed.

I've gone over every square mm of that holster, inside and out. I can't find and markings on it whatsoever.

I'm pleased to know that it's original. It came with an EG VoPo Luger in it so apparently the holster was pressed into service by the East Germans until the Lugers were retired from service.
