Pete and Tom A.
Thanks for the input. I believe the collector in question is above reproach, but another collector told me he thought the holster might be fake and the first collector didn't realize it. I will try to get some photo's of the stamp and post them. Leather looked good but not new, no gouges or abraded areas.
The same collector had a Gothic S K date for sale, he was looking for $2450. The condition was good, about 85% my guess, some roughness on the lower edge of the side plate, quite a bit of straw on the trigger and other small parts. It looked to be all matching (didn't check the grips) but the obvious parts matched, (No S on the grip screws). It didn't appear to be redone. I was trying to trade for it, as I didn't have the cash. We may still make a deal on this one. I probably could have sealed this but he wanted two of my better pieces and I wanted to give him one of the better ones and one of my lesser condition guns. I am looking for something else he may want. If I don't deal on this I'll pass his name along if your interested.
Thanks,
Bob M.
