The "Dotted Line" rectangle on the front of the holster is where the magazine pouch was removed from the original holster. It is definitely a well-done conversion from a holster for another gun to a luger holster, I am just not sure which one. Could have been done by a commercial holster maker during the war.

OK,I understand what your referring to. I really never noticed that before you pointed it out. I am going to look over this very carefully to see if I can find any type of marking. I would really like to find out if this could of been the original holster for the gun or not? Thanks,Bob
