I don't think its German military-Imperial or Nazi stuff was usually well marked with maker and acceptance stamps-a 2 magazine pouch provision is also highly unusual for a German military holster and the general shape is not correct for a Luger-it is, however, obviously a quality, well made item-perhaps a private commercial rig or for a foreign govt order although you would still expect to see some sort of maker info on it.

it is FINISH for a LAHTI pistol

ERMA .22 Lugers are a 1960s -70s gun, not built to the same standard as a wartime 9mm Luger and many parts were made from a alloy with steel inserts where required.

Swedish Lahti ? Luger WW II Military pistol holster black leather F16 | eBay
heres one for sale on ebay , its not swedish though ,its finnish , but you get the drift , ,as you can see buy it now ,, prety cheep,so i think the trader was dreaming about it being a lot of money , as far as the value of the ERMA .22 ,,sorry cant help with that , but i would think not much becouse it has little interest to a collector ,as it post war civilian ,gun
cheers ian

I had considered it could be a Lahti holster but it was nothing like examples I could see on websites and although the pistol is somewhat Luger shaped, it's larger, much heavier and the action is more like that of the Japanese Nambu T14 which is also vaguely 'Lugerish'-still a quality holster though.
PS The Finns were also a major user of Luger pistols as well, starting with ex WW1 examples, then buying .30 cal commercial examples in the 1920s and lastly getting standard 9mm P08 types just before the war.
