Hi George, My source is Görtz/Sturgess' "Pistole Parabellum", pages 1311 and 1312. I quote:
"The Persian Army manufactured it's own holsters for both the P08s and LP08s supplied by Mauser in 1935.... The LP08 holster is readily distinguished from the German WW1 patterns by their total lack of marking, the quality of the leather and the stitching, the folded and sewn "ears" on the cleaning rod flap, and the square tip to the magazine pouch closure strap".
Best regards, Norm
