Post 1915 Hans Romer...

Any thoughts on this 1915 Hans Romer holster on e-Bay this week :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...270370598&rd=1

I jumped out when bidding went above $ 250...I was worried about a new seller with a "0" feedback rating on e-Bay out-of-country...

What I liked about this piece was :

1. Style of the "Hans Romer" stamping looked like a photo in one of the E. Bender books.

2. Back of the holster looked to be pig skin.

3. Front photo seemed to show old stitching lines where a LP-08 pouch may have been.

4. Belt loops on back looked like LP-08.

5. Leather looked like it has a real patina...

If a fake holster, I think these details are pretty elaborate for a WWI faked piece...???

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
