Is this a police or military holster?

JD, Interesting. The strap and D ring seem to be put in by someone other than an experienced saddler. It was certainly hand stitched, not machine. The thread appears to be cotton, not flax. I would say it is not period. The cross at the top where it comes through the hinge is poorly done and not something a German Saddler would do. I cannot imagine what it is there for. The dye job on this holster looks recent as well. It's a very nice holster though! Jerry Burney
