Olle..Yes, in a PC World the truth is the first casualty. I hear what you're saying. I will say this however..the last mint holster I sold went for $8-900. If this one you have were in actuality original beyond doubt I would expect it to fetch close to $600 minimum. That being said..this holster makes me a believer then kicks me in the nads! The inside belt loop stitches are amateurish. With no doubt in my mind I can call them bad. This late in the game, 1941, Otto Sindel was a Premier Luger holster maker. They made some of the finest holsters the Germans could produce and they did it right. The stitching you took excellent photo's of is simply laying right on the surface. I don't know what this holster is or where it came from or who made it but I do know what it isn't. There is NO WAY this is German original period 1941. These last two photo's are the nail in the coffin for me.
I have said it many times before..I find no joy in these pronouncements. Being the bearer of these opinions often makes me unpopular. I would much rather declare it is a rare and valuable original..but in this case unfortunately I don't think so.

I am not the end all of experts. It's just an opinion from a humble student. I DO welcome dissenting opinions..I would love to hear what others may think.
