Rougher condition than mine, but it looks authentic in my opinion:

- Fasteners on rear correctly align below bottom of flap
- Stitching looks right
- Leather on inside looks correct - these holsters were made of a soft russet leather

The EHS stamp looks like the correct font, spacing and placement. However, I cannot read the Rock Island Arsenal above it clearly because of the cracking on that area. It is there though.

I learned some tips from Ron Wood and am grateful for him examining mine prior to my purchase...

Listing ended. He has had it listed several times. I corresponded with him during his original listing and asked some questions. He was very pleasant and seemed to know his stuff.

These are rare in any condition.
