Greg,
Turns out, the dealer I bought the holster from was a contributor to Whittington's Vol 3. He said Bob put twenty of his holsters in the book. Anyway, he called Bob himself and asked him about the holster as he was mad that my friend called b.s. on the holster being commercial. He said Bob said "Bull****, no way that holster is military!" "They didn't make any that were military." Bob hasn't seen the holster. It is a standard looking , black, WWI pattern holster with the AKah crest on the back between the straps that they believe was made during the Weimar era. There are no marks, stamps or anything else but the crest anywhere on the holster. I will take some pics of it but until I buy some close-up lenses for my camera any attempts at detail would be disappointing.
