Thank you Pete and Ron,
To add to some of my earlier post and to answer some of you questions.
The barrel is numbered exactly the same as the gun and I feel that it could be the original barrel. It is dated 1914 on the top.

From the serial number 1471, I have determined that the gun was manufactured in the first week of August 1912 and issued into service in 1914. (Ref: Bas J Martens & Guus de Vries )
Thank you Ron for identifying the original unit marks and the brass side plate marks.

The holster is as Ron has described and has been arsenal altered.
It has the following marks on the flap.

CW
N
2 42
Z






The gun had two rods with it. The one I have shown plus another which I assumed was a home made one but could have been issued with the gun in 1942.





As the holster is marked 42 which I under stand from Bas J Martens & Guus de Vries book to mean February 1942.
There are no other marks on the holster.

I really appreciate the input from you all.

Regards
Murray.
