Wish I had a 1915 Artillery

I have another question. Isn't 1915 an odd time to be producing "commercial" holsters, particularly for an artillery model? WWI was already nearly 6 months old and commercial production of Lugers was pretty much finished by the beginning of the previous year. I guess it could have been a private purchase item, but it still seems a bit unlikely in this timeframe.

I think it is a modified military. The front strap still has the original hole for the stud, with the smaller hole having been added to accommodate the buckle. Also, I still wonder about the tool flap having a snap fastener.

Sorry to be a troublemaker.
