I am a little worried about the holster. Unless I'm mistaken, the Otto Sindel maker's mark is common on a line of reproduction holsters that are well made and fairly convincing. Other than their often pristine condition, the Eagle/swastika mark does not quite match an original. The eagle's head and wings are proportioned a little differently, and the swastika is not straight in its circle. Inside, IIRC, the stitching for the belt loops should be submerged in a slit made for them, and not directly visible. I hope someone else who is more experienced in this matter can give a better-informed observation of this.
