The outside does have age to it, it just doesn't have much wear. The black has faded in some places (I tried to capture this in one of the pictures), and really, the inside aging is not much more than some fine dry cracking and some marks from a pistol. It doesn't look artificially aged, just... well, "old", like it was put away 60 years ago. It smells like "old holster" as well, not that new leather smell you would expect from a reproduction.
Anyway, here are some more pictures for further study:
