Actually, the star is acceptance mark of the police armory in Berlin which was the purchasing agent for all Prussian and later all German police. It is a genuine holster that has been reinforced somewhere along the way. The marking S.B.6173. is the propery marking of the Schutzpolizei (state police) of Berlin and matched that of the Luger it carried in service. It's a nice holster.
