I'm not versed enough in the marking game to give you an answer, but I can tell you that the closure strap style is for police holsters.

It is the property stamp of the Ordnungs-Polizei of Mecklenburg.

Is it just my eyes, or does the back look like it has had a revolver stored in it???

Yes, it's had a 1917/1920 Erfurt stored in it for about 16 years. Thank you all SO MUCH for the info! I really appreciate it!!
