Vince, I don't have enough 1915's here to say..George Anderson did a quick look over his 15 or so (Artillery) holsters and said they all have it including his very early Mars holsters. The holster on auction looked perfectly authentic to me from the photo's. It did not have this line of stitching and it put George off on it. I just happen to have an original 1915 in my shop for repairs and it has the stitching.
There were enough small Saddler contractors in Germany during the war I guess anything is possible.
WW1 short barrel holsters did not have this line of stitching. Jerry Burney
