Holster Origin

I thought about the Norwegian option too, but presumed that the lugers and the holsters the Norwegians used, would have been ones recovered from the 100,000 German troops, when they surrendered in May 1945.

As I suspect this holster is a police one, in theory, it not have been in Norway at the time of the surrender, but serving with some policeman in a German town. Mind you the illegible markings on the rear of the holster, do look like they have been scored out.
