Jerry,
I took some time and went through the holster with a white light - and I had my glasses on. I cannot find even a hint of a mark - exept for the 190 written with a pen, under the top.
The thread used in the stiching has an orange colour. This can be stated as a fact, and is proven when I look inside the holster with the light.
The buckle has no rust on it, but is not as shiny as chrome or stainless steel. I suspect it was galvanized. On the one side of the buckle it is rough. (Where the metal was welded/connected to form the buckle?) Was it a cold galvanizing process? Defenitively not electroplated - too rough. The roller was formed by crimping it around the buckle and is not welded together. After looking with a magnifying glass I have confirmation of the roughness on the metal.
