Albert, I assume that the 'grain' is a natural feature on this LP-08 holster. How does this grain come to exist in the leather if it is from cow leather?

NO...The texture on the Corderoy holster is impressed apon the surface just as it is on pebble grained holsters.

I am unsure of why the Germans or anyone else would impress their corderoy or pebble grain patterns on leather surfaces. It could be decorative which is improbable or it is perhaps the same reason it is on a football, for better grasping? An effort to shed rain water? It is really hard to tell.

Regardless, this IS impressed and not a natural feature of either cowhide or pigskin.

I would like to see your carbine case..Do you have a link to it?
