After looking at the various images of the 1906 Navy holster on eBay, maybe Tom saved himself $510.00. In my opinion, I do not like the stitching on the rear top of the holster which appears like a drunk worker was behind the sewing machine! If this holster was made in Germany around 1906, it would have been rejected due to the 'shaky' stitching. The quality of workmanship was outstanding during this period, and such flaws would have been unacceptable.
Just my two pennings worth.
Cheers,
Albert
