Fake or Real 1941 P08 Holster

If that holster is fake then we collectors are in big trouble. It looks original and 70 years old to me. The problem with all the fakes around nowdays is that it has put us all on guard to the point where any deviation from the norm is immediately deemed fake, phony and fraud. But we know that there were 100's of holster makers and certainly there is some room for deviation in a hand made item. I would think if it is truly a repro holster, then we will see more of this variation on the market. Just too much profit to make only one...............
