How you will define this holster? As a fake or as a reproduction?
Definitely is not an original one.

To be diplomatic...it is a modern-day reproduction holster...probably for the re-enactment hobby community.

It only becomes a "fake" if sold to an un-aware buyer as a WWII vintage holster.

I have also thought to a 'reproduction' until I saw the marking.. 1941

Pete, A person would have to be brain dead to think this is a vintage holster...

I personnally feel that the makers of anything, go over the reproduction line to fakery once a fake date and/or stamp is applied...

Tac, just keep your teeth together, you have a long flight too sleep on. The foolish thing with the pillow is to over sleep the flight ..right?

Have a nice trip!
