Vernon, The lace is an add on..alien to the original holster. I suspect it was added to carry it since the belt loop is un attached underneath it.

The N is GI graffitti. Likely an initial for identification. Not original to the holster nor is a German mark.

Your holster seems to be in decent shape even though it has some severe damage..the worst is the missing roller closure buckle. Second is the crack/split in the front near the pull-up strap. I believe this holster could be restored. The stitching appears to be torn loose on some edges..it was made of a plant fiber and is slowly but surely weakening.
