Ron is right on the money...John you don't win another hat!
Looks like "C HOLSTE & Co" to me. I'd give it a thumbs up.

The leather is beautiful. Representative of the German Holster makers art of the period. I imagine the white John is seeing is mold. The seller is in Seattle. Perhaps a rag or some other object was stored inside that would attract moisture or simply being inclosed might do it.

Belt loops canted at considerable different angles from time periods to manufacturers. Some more so than others.

The hinge is in excellent shape. The only fault I could find with this holster is the closure strap has one too many holes.

Scuffs seem normal to me and the Maker mark seems quite normal. If not in a place where it would be rubbed a stamping in leather will remain crisp and last as long as the leather itself.

The belt loops look excellent and are just what you should expect and look for.

Believe me...No one on this Planet would go to the trouble and expense of replicating a holster with this type of craftsmanship and quality. I wish they would. It would make many people unbelieveably happy.

This holster should bring between $300 and $400.
