Now, that holster...It is very nice looking...Not worn at all, for a WW II holster...Although I've never seen one with those big "P08" markings on it...It's an awfully new looking holster...

Hi Postino.

thanks for the advice! I think you are correct, in comparing my holster to others (on this board, and elsewhere), it does seem to be in too good of a condition. Even if it is a repro, I'm not much concerned as the gun seems to be a fine example.

Does anyone have advice on what to look for in regards to determining the authenticity of the holster?

thanks!
