AH George, A man after my own heart...I agree that this is a very nicely made reproduction.I think it's quite old as well. There are several tell tale signs that this not original.Take a close look at the closure stud. Not at all like it should be. The stock block is not sewn in the middle like it should be either. It is sewn into the right area though. All in all I would guess this is an early reproduction, sometime early post war. Probably German in construction. It is very high quality.The double magazine pouch is not so good. I rate it much less in quality than the holster itself.For those of you who might be looking at Imperial Navy 6" holsters, this one is a good lesson.
I did not notice the feedback as George did but I am sure what he says is a distinct possibility. I will have to look that over closely.
