Olle, Yes thank you. I would love to closely inspect the front closure stud. Top, side, in profile.
What concerns me a great deal is the stitching abnormalities I see. Let's take one area that bothers me. The two stitching lines to the bottom right of the left belt loop. These two lines are what hold in the pull-up strap. I would expect to see VERY robust doubled up thread here. I don't see it. I see a single stitch. I cannot tell you how many of these stitching lines I have removed over the years to take out broken lifting straps but, it has been many hundreds. I have NEVER seen one like I see here. It's just not how these were stitched on genuine German period holsters. So it's a handful of these abnormalities that concern me. It is a detail that would be easily overlooked by someone.
