Sauer,
Next to the nitro proof there is no other marking on the slide. No caliber marking, no manufacturers name, etc. The holster is clearly not a 38h holster due to the manufacturers date of 1918 in it. It is very similar to 38h holsters I have seen posted here. The common elements seem to be the strap coming down from the flap and the metal rivet on the thread ending. Otherwise I am sure this is quite obviously a reissued holster from some earlier period. Does anyone have a clue what the markings might be on the holster? I will post a photo as soon as I get a chance....sorry no digital camera!
