Hi Tom,

Without a doubt, a repro. The quickest way to tell is in the quality of the stitching. Real holsters have a very uniform, even stitch pattern, using waxed linen thread.

I can almost garrantee that if you take a match to that exposed ball of thread to the left of the interior of the holster, it will bubble up showing it has nylon content, a sure give-away.

Also, the belt loops are not slanted, which they should be.

Nice repro, though!
