Gentlemen, The other obvious indicators are:

1 The top is not molded properly.

2 Brass roller buckle. While not unheard of it is extreamly uncommon and almost never on German P-08 holsters. I say almost because nothing is absolute in this field of study.

3 Look closely at the closure strap stitching. It is not proper at all.

3 The knot in the pull-up strap is folded over and stitched. These people who made this holster were not craftsmen at all.

4 There should be lines along the edges of most of the leather. This was not only decorative but was proven to round the edge and strengthen the leather.

John, Thanks for the compliment and the support.

Tom, Thanks , you are right and for the addditional info. Jerry Burney
