I really don't collect German militaria anymore and have soild most of what I had. My interest these days is full auto and competition pistol shooting.
BTW the SS also used smaller versions of these rank pips on their collar tabs.
The badges on your holster were undoubtedly placed there by the GI who acquired the pistol, as the Germans frowned on this type of unauthorized embellishment of personal gear.
Still would enjoy the opportunity to meet and swap a tale or two!
