To me is quite evident this holster was made by a very good leather shop with new material. For sure they found inspiration in german style double flap but the holster is without doubt for an M1911A1. It's not impossible it was made in Italy but they wouldn't have install a Lift The Dot snap so I think it was made in Brazil and bought before embarquement to Italy.
Look if the LTD bear the brazilian mark EBERLE.
