Yep,

This holster has so many issues that it almost has value as a 'show and tell' version to illustrate what faked holsters look like.

Some issues:
-Leather looks like it has floated in gello for years.
-Stitching and general workmanship is bad.
-Holster is of WW1 type construction yet labeled 1931 and stamped with a P08 marking that was introduced in 1940.
-The nazis were not ruling Germany in 1931.
-Straps are in the wrong place.
-Lid looks like it shrunk, it should be much wider.

I have a hard time believing that the Yak whose bottom this holster was made from died 40 years ago. I think the beast still roams around the mountains of Pakistan with a bad temper and a sore butt.
