Radom P35 Two Magazine Pouch Holster

On GB I won a Radom P35 WWII pistol. Pistol has three levers w/o slotted back strap and is in very good condition. Pistol has all the waffen marks you expect but has mismatched numbers and a blued barrel with what looks like a date (i.e., 8'83) on the bottom of the barrel. What is interesting is that the holster has two magazine pouches sewn into the holster. There are no German marks on the holster but it does have a crown over I2 mark. The leather is textured (i.e., stippling) with what looks like a star pattern. Is this a pre-war Polish two magazine pouch holster? Look at the pictures posted of the pistol and holster.

My WAG is that the 8'83 marking on the bottom of the barrel. Is the barrel bore diameter in millimeters.
Googled it and the holster is exactly what you said it was; and I thought I had a very rare pre-WWII Polish two magazine pouch Radom Model 35 holster as mentioned in "The Standard Catalog of Military Firearms".
Thank You
