Is this a police or military holster?

Jerry, I assume that it would be best to leave it attached as is rather than remove it to change the holster back to a "standard" configuration?

Also, on one of the belt loops the stitching is loosening somewhat. Should it be left alone? I have done leather work and have re-stitched holsters before and could re-stitch it, but where do you find the proper flax thread? How far should one go in "restoring" a vintage holster?

Thanks!!!!
