I picked up this holster for an Astra 400 pistol I have coming. I actually have two Astra pistols on the way, one is Republican-marked and the other Nationalist-marked. I would like to learn more about the provenance of this holster, particularly when it was made and by whom, and to whom were holsters of this style issued. Curiously, I find no stampings, ink or otherwise, to indicate a maker or date of manufacture. Is this peculiar to the Spanish holsters or just holsters of this one's time period?
Thanks for the education.

P.S. - I photographed this one with the Russian flag as a backdrop since I will likely pair this holster with my R.E.-marked 1937 Astra 400 pistol. Unless, of course, someone tells me this was the style of holster used by the Nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil war.
