Erfurt 1917 Artillery Holster

Following up on on Ron and George's points re lack of stitching across the back of the holster, I have wondered about that as well, as I have a 1915 dated holster that seems genuine all respects, but lacks that stitching.

In researching this, it does appear there are quite a number of examples illustrated, (Bender page 230, Jan Still Imp. Lugers, page 111, and other books), and what they have in common is that they are all 1915 holsters, so it may be a characterstics of some early holsters?

Jerry B. , your thoughts?
