Audley holster

It looks like it would be manufactured for a commercial Luger with a 6" barrel.
The corroded rivets would be a concern, for me - looks like a potential chaffing issue.

I don't recognize the leather maker, Audley, but there is a women's shoe maker in England by that name.

I found a lead that suggested Audley was associated or became American Leather Co. (Dallas, Texas). The stamp looks like an American design to me and I have seen 1911 holsters in a similar style, but with a full flap and leg straps.

My Dad's 1911 holster was stamped "Bolen Lea".
