[Blight]

So years ago I hastily purchased a repro holster at a gun show, it seemed fine to me, having no real experience with real P08 holsters. Thankfully I didn't pay much for it, because I was disappointed to discover that the color had been painted on with a latex like paint.

I've since learned a lot more about what makes quality leather, and I have seen myself the well aging qualities of genuine old leather; my WW1 mauser mag pouches look great, even after 100 years and hard wartime use.

So i'd like a decent holster for my shooter, one I could actually use from time to time without harming a super old antique, so my question is: does anybody make a quality, non painted P08 holster? If not, should I just shell out the cash for a genuine not particularly valuable article? Or is my thinking wrong headed to begin with?

Thanks in advance, lovely Luger people.
