Marc, The trick is to do your homework. Compare this repro to a known original. Look at the details. The differences will jump out at you. Stitching patterns and quality. Look at the shape of the buckle at the corners..and the tongue. All tiny but important details.

I have written reams on how to detect a fake holster on this and Jan Stills Forum. Do a search. Some interesting threads will pop up.
