If it was in the holster probably had been there only for a very short time. Contrary to popular belief..I am not a believer that holsters necessarily affect finish. IF they are stored in a proper environment.
I have a test piece..a premium finished Luger stored in a Krieghoff holster. So far, after ten years..no finish deterioration issues. The pistol is oiled lightly once a year.
