US Test Holster on GB

I don't know the seller, who says he got it form Ralph Shattuck.

Looks correct to me. I learned a lot from Ron Wood as he graciously assisted me to authenticate mine prior to purchase.

I believe it is priced fairly for its condition.

Its 100 percent legit. I post any part or view for You but the stiching on the bottom is unique! A round stich we a tiny hole for moisture or ventalation.

A question to our resident leather expert Jerry if anything could be done for this batttered hero!

Hi Clark,
Has the bottom of the "closure flap" been messed with? I know nothing of these, however the bottom looks too square, not symetric. Thank you Sir for my continuing education.

Eric, The Gunbroker holster is showing it's age. It is dark and I suspect has been impregnated with oily goo. Hard to tell without it in hand but that's one way a dark holster with cracks gets treated by most folks.
Can anything be done? Outside of a time machine I don't think this holster can be improved from it's present condition.
I always compare it to..can you uncook hamburger? Not to my knowledge.
Sad but true..these organic artifacts will continue to deterioriate to dust.

You have a mighty fine holster there Eric!
