RK, John...I tend to agree with you as well John..Could be for the High-Power. Hard to say because the magazine pouches, if that is what they are, are not extended to any degree to tell what would fit into them.

Interesting response RK. Always nice to hear from a seller. Never know when some useful information might be gleaned.I don't quite know what to make of his story though.

RK, Have you forgotten the canvas 32 round Trommel magazine holster? Like you I cannot recall many ventures into this material from the Germans but this is one of them...The canvas ones are authentic while the leather ones are spurious. The leather closure straps on a canvas carrier are sewn on much differently than this holster in question. In an X inside a box rather than the U as is seen on most German leather holsters.

It is not British or Canadian in my opinion.Even though it is made like those types of holsters. The leather closure strap and stitching are a dead giveaway towards German manufacture. This is the only thing about it that would lead me to lean towards authenticity. I would like to get a close look at the markings inside the top. Not that they are meaningfull necessarily. Just curious.Jerry Burney
