Good Job...

and BTW, what Tom A was trying to say is that there is little or no documentation to authenticate the originality of the Deaths Head or Totenkopf marked items... There provenance is questionable. Perhaps your holster and holsters similar to it were marked by the soldiers that carried them in some discreet fashion... who knows if we will ever discover the truth. In the mean time, there are unscrupulous vendors who would create such items and tell you an "amazing story" to go with the markings on the items they are selling...

as always, CAVEAT EMPTOR (buyer beware) and ask for documentation that can be authenticated for items that seem too good to be true...
