Is this a police or military holster?

Jerry, Yes, the holster is in very good shape; suprisingly good considering it was made in 1916. I did give it a coat of leather wax, which is one of the reasons the holster looks as good as it does in the photos. I have not seen another holster with the added "O" ring (Though my knowledge on holsters is very limited), but I thought it may have been added for police use. It was probably re-dyed at the same time. It looks like it was well cared for. Wish I knew the history on it!!!!
