......had a chance to see an HK stamped (LWaA-2 stamping inside the holster, on the back piece) with a 4-digit number stamped on the holster body on the front/underneath the closure flap when the flap is closed.

Might this be an HK gun number...? It is # 56xx...

Most likely.

If anyone knows where HK luger # 5665 is located, I would be happy to help them get connected up with the holster...

Pete,

#5665 is not one of those recorded by Gibson in "The Krieghoff Parabellum". Would be nice if it showed up "out of the woodwork."

Okay...I bought it...

It is numbered # 5665, has no maker's marks of any kind, has black thread, was brown and dyed black, and has a small LWaA2 marking inside the flap.

Defects include a loose and partially torn belt loop that has been restitched in place several times and some owner had placed a cheap Death's Head medallion on the closure flap.

Holster had been mated with a worn P-38 (AC-43) for over 40 years...owner thought it was a P-38 holster...got a very good bargin on the buy...

Forgot to add in my earlier posting...

If the Owner of HK luger # 5665 comes forward, I would be happy to transfer this holster to him/her...for my costs. I have saved my receipt for this holster and it was a good bargin. I think it would be important to get this holster back together with its pistol...
