OT: Need identification of this C96-stock

I have a C96 wooden holster that is pretty much a mirror of the one you show in your pictures. It is also unnumbered or serialed to the C96 that is with it. It does, however, have a couple of other features. First, on the outside of the wooden flap is stamped "Germany" and on the inside of the main body of the holster (on top of the wood) just in front of the hinge there appears to be a "W" or perhaps an "M" stamped in the wood as well. Anyone have any ideas on these markings? I assume the "Germany" stamped on the outside of the flap would indicate a commercial holster or import stamp, but I'm not certain.

Thanks,
Bob
