Holsters come in varying finishes based on the availability...
Perhaps one of the holster experts can comment here on any published standards for Luger Holsters that were used by the manufacturers.
The only 'bad' leather I have ever seen on an original German Luger holster was the result of owner/user abuse.
Now as far as other countries go, it can be anything... As an example, I have seen Bulgarian Luger holsters that ranged from as nice as the German originals to looking like they were made out of worn out saddle bags...
